Assessment
Using evidence-based assessment practices and standardised psychometric tests, we offer:
- evaluation of child and adolescent intellectual and academic functioning,
- assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum (ASD) and attention deficit / hyperactivity (ADHD) in children and young people.
Firearms Health Safety Risk Assessment
New South Wales takes firearms risk very seriously - the goal is to keep people safe.
Some people may be required to obtain assessments due to previous experiences, or risk factors that have been identified through data collection.
While mental health conditions do not automatically indicate risk to self or others, some mental health conditions, previous self harm, suicidality, and violence reflect a higher statistical probability of risk which benefits from closer consideration.
Yellow Psychology provides child and adolescent psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to understand an individual's unique cognitive, academic and emotional functioning.
Psychological assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, intellectual developmental disorder, and specific learning disorders is available.
Through a nurturing and supportive approach, grounded in empathy and understanding, we specialise in providing evidence based trauma-focused intervention for people of all ages.
Appointments are available on evenings and weekends via telehealth. Yellow Psychology uses the secure Coviu platform.
Yellow Psychology also provides NSW Firearms Health Risk Assessments. Assessments involve a clinical interview, and additional psychometric assessments as required. A comprehensive psychological report is then provided to the NSW Police Firearms Registry - this assessment process can be completed in clinic or, if appropriate, online.
