Diagnostic Assessment and Intervention

With Educational and Developmental Psychologists, Lisa and her team are highly trained in the area of diagnostic assessment and providing intervention to children suspected of being on the autism spectrum as well as diagnosing and working with children who have ADHD and other developmental challenges.

Learning and school attendance can be extremely challenging for some children. At The Happiness Project we conduct a range of assessments for children and adolescents, including:

Cognitive and learning assessments (e.g. learning difficulties, intellectual impairment and giftedness)
Neurodevelopmental assessments (e.g. ASD and ADHD).

We provide evidence based recommendations for children, parents, health professionals and schools in order to help children reach their full potential.

Learning and Cognitive Assessments

Animal Assisted Therapy

Animal-assisted therapy is a complementary form of therapy which uses animals as an additional aspect for treatment processes. Animal-assisted therapy has been found to have positive outcomes for different clients including improving communication skills, self-esteem and confidence, developing empathy and social skills. We integrate this approach for particular clients in a collaborative and open way.
