Psychological Assessments
Inventories/ Questionnaires: Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL, ages 6-18), Youth Self Report (YSR, ages 11-18), Adult Self Report (ASR, 18-59), Older Adult Self Report (OASR, Ages 60 and older). Feedback from results provides information about the client’s symptoms and behaviour, and their adaptive functioning. Anne conveys this information to other professionals (GP letters and referrals to specialists, e.g., clients with ADHD, ASD)
Cognitive and learning assessments. Anne is well-practised in administering and interpreting Weschler tests: WPPSI-IV (up to 7 years), WISC-V (6-16), WAIS-IV (16 and above), and WIAT-III. Feedback from results provides information about the client’s strengths and weaknesses across a range of cognitive and academic skills. Anne writes comprehensive reports (e.g., for parents/ teachers of school students, for older students completing VCE, adults attending university, etc.)
Memory screening: Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS, 12-89). Feedback provides information about the client’s performance on five indexes: Immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, attention, language, and delayed memory. Anne conveys this information to other professionals (e.g., letters to GPs, supporting letters for Centrelink, WorkSafe, etc)
Risk assessments: Together, Anne and at-risk clients complete The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) Suicide Status Form-4 (SSF-4). Clients who disclose suicidal ideation complete The Black Dog Institute’s Safety Plan.
