Cognitive Assessments
Cognitive assessments help us understand how someone thinks and learns. They look at skills like memory, attention, problem-solving, and language. These assessments can show areas of strength and areas where support might be helpful, for example at school, at work, or in everyday life.
What to expect
At Orenia, We provide private cognitive and neuropsychological assessments across the UK, delivered online where appropriate and led by HCPC-registered clinical psychologists. We use UK gold-standard tools such as the WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition) and the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale). Depending on your needs, assessments can be used to:
-
Investigate learning difficulties or giftedness
-
Explore memory, attention, and executive functioning issues
-
Inform educational planning or workplace accommodations
-
Support diagnoses such as ADHD or intellectual disability
What to Expect
A cognitive assessment typically involves one-on-one testing with a psychologist, using a combination of tasks, puzzles, and questions. The process usually takes a few hours and results in a detailed report with findings and recommendations.
Who Are These For?
-
Children struggling in school or showing signs of advanced ability.
-
Adults noticing memory or concentration issues.
-
Anyone referred by a doctor, school, or employer for further understanding of possible learning differences.
