Adult cognitive assessment
A cognitive assessment, historically known as an IQ test, tests how your brain works. It is typically used to diagnose an Intellectual Disability (ID).
How does the process work?
Cognitive assessments are typically done in a single session which takes 60-90 minutes. You will be asked to complete a series of tasks testing your memory, spatial reasoning, and language skills.
After you complete the assessment, your psychologist will write up a full report. We will invite you to a follow-up meeting which will give you chance to reflect on the results and ask any questions.
What are the potential outcomes?
You will receive a report which will score you on how you compare to other people of the same age. If you score falls below a certain threshold you will be diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability.
Eligibility
You must be between 16 and 90 years old.
You must be able to communicate verbally in English. If you are non-verbal we may be able to accommodate you with a different assessment. Contact us for details.
