How it works
From first click to finished report in about 70 minutes, with breaks whenever your child needs them.
1 · Set up your child’s profile (2 minutes)
You tell us your child’s age, year level, language background, and any existing diagnoses or concerns. This matters for two reasons. The activities adjust to one of four age bands, and the report reads each result in context. For example, a vocabulary result means something different for a child learning English as an additional language.
Ages 5-7
Early Years
Ages 8-10
Middle Primary
Ages 11-13
Upper Primary / Junior Secondary
Ages 14-17
Senior Secondary
2 · Pick an assessment: three short ones, not one long one
The screening is split into three separate assessments: cognitive (~25 min), educational (~25 min), and behavioural (~10 min, completed by you). Each one gives you its own report, so you can do one today and the rest whenever it suits you. A Quick Screen mode cuts the child’s activities by about half for a faster first look. Progress saves automatically on your device, and you can download a backup file to continue on another device. For children aged 5 to 7, sit beside them and read the instructions aloud. That is how examiners run tests with young children, and each activity tells you when reading aloud is allowed.

3 · Get your report instantly
The report shows where your child sits against age expectations in every area. You get a visual profile, plain-English explanations of what each result means, your child’s strengths and areas of need, practical evidence-based recommendations, and a clear answer to the main question: is a full psychologist assessment worth pursuing? It also sets out the next steps for your country, whether that is NCCD and VCAA special examination arrangements in Australia, IEP/504 processes in the United States, or SENCO and JCQ pathways in the UK.
Getting accurate results
- • Pick a calm time when your child is rested and fed, not after a long school day.
- • Use a tablet or computer in a quiet room; switch off the TV and notifications.
- • Encourage effort, but don’t help with answers (except reading aloud for ages 5 to 7 where indicated).
- • Breaks between modules are good practice; clinicians use them too.
- • If your child has uncorrected vision or hearing difficulties, note it in the profile; it affects interpretation.
