Having the right evidence is crucial to whatever outcome you're hoping for.
As a clinical psychologist, you don't need any other reports or second opinions. My report is all you need to access the NDIS.*
What you need can vary, depending on what outcome you're hoping for. Do you want funding for school or to access the NDIS? Different places have different rules and you don't want to be caught short, and not be able to provide all the evidence you need for the outcome you want. You don't want to have to do an assessment twice because something was missing and you didn't know!
You don't have to do this alone. We're with you all the way.
- We answer all your questions before, during and after an assessment.
- We provide with you with the right information about which assessments you need.
-We follow up with you after the assessment to make sure you're not stuck and moving forward.
*The WA Ed Dept requires 2 reports because they do not follow the National Guidelines.

The Breaking Point
There was a morning I’ll never forget. After dropping my kids off at school, I came home, closed the door, and broke down in tears. The weight of criticism—side glances, whispered judgments, and the unspoken message that I was failing as a parent—felt unbearable. I was exhausted, desperate, and convinced I was letting my child down.
The Struggle Without Answers
At that time, my son didn’t have a diagnosis. I felt lost, stupid, and alone. I had reached out for help, but the answers never seemed to come. Instead, I was met with more questions, more blame, and the gnawing sense that I was missing something fundamental as a parent. The world seemed to agree: I was a bad parent.
The Wild Stallion
In the depths of my despair, an image came to me—a wild black stallion, eyes wide, body slick with sweat, completely out of control. To my horror, I was on its back, clinging on for dear life. No reins. No saddle. No hope. That was my parenting experience: chaotic, unpredictable, and terrifying.
A Whisper of Hope
In my darkest moment, I cried out to God, “Why did you give this child to me? I don’t know what to do.” In the quiet that followed, I felt a gentle response: “I’ve given you everything you need to raise that boy. Now get on with it.”
I dusted off my old school reports, searching for proof that I wasn’t stupid. I reminded myself that I was a competent, intelligent person. Something else was going on—something I couldn’t see yet.
The Turning Point: Assessment
The real transformation began with assessment. When my son finally received a diagnosis—after years of searching—it was as if someone handed me the reins. Suddenly, I had answers. I understood that I wasn’t failing; I was navigating a path without a map.
The Power of Knowing
With a diagnosis came clarity. I stopped blaming myself and started advocating for my son. I found my confidence as a parent, and the shame and isolation began to fade. I realized that having the right information didn’t just help my son—it transformed me, too.
The Benefits of Assessment
Clarity: Assessment provided the missing pieces, turning confusion into understanding.
Empowerment: I became an informed advocate, no longer defined by others’ judgments.
Connection: I found support and community, knowing I wasn’t alone.
Hope: Most importantly, I learned that with the right knowledge, there is always a way forward.
Every family’s journey is unique, but the power of assessment is universal. It doesn’t just give answers—it gives hope, direction, and the confidence to keep riding, no matter how wild the journey may feel.
