Assessments

ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia are all neurological conditions which can affect both children and adults. Because such conditions can have a significant impact on one’s daily life, obtaining an assessment is often the first step in finding the right support and guidance to manage one’s condition and achieve one’s full potential. Psychologists who form part of the paths team are highly knowledgeable and experienced in carrying out assessments for these conditions, as well as having thorough knowledge of related conditions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Estimated cost: €500-€650 (Depending on assessments required)

What is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person experiences and interacts with the world around them. It can influence social communication, flexibility of thinking, and behaviour, and may be associated with differences in sensory processing and focused interests. As autism exists on a spectrum, each individual’s strengths and challenges are unique, and the impact varies widely from person to person.

The paths Assessment Process for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Initial Consultation
The autism assessment process begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss key background information, areas of concern, and any previous assessments or interventions. For children, this conversation typically involves parents or caregivers, while for adults it focuses on personal experiences and current challenges.
Clinical Interview
A detailed clinical interview follows, exploring developmental, social, educational, and behavioural history in greater depth. For children, we also gather feedback from teachers and, where appropriate, carry out a school observation to understand how the child engages in a familiar environment. This stage helps identify patterns in communication, relationships, and behaviour that may indicate characteristics of autism.
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)
The ADOS is a structured, play- or conversation-based assessment used to observe social communication, interaction, and flexibility of thinking in a naturalistic setting. It provides valuable insight into how an individual expresses themselves, engages with others, and responds to social cues. The ADOS is considered a key component of comprehensive autism testing for both children and adults and is used alongside developmental information and clinical judgment to inform diagnostic understanding.
Feedback Session
At the end of the assessment, you will be invited to a feedback session where the findings will be explained in detail. You will also receive a detailed written report outlining the results, any diagnosis made, and tailored recommendations for ongoing support, therapeutic interventions, and next steps.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Estimated cost: between €550-€600 (Depending on assessments required)

What is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, concentration, organisation, and impulse control. It can impact learning, relationships, and daily life, and may present differently across individuals. Some people experience difficulties focusing and completing tasks, while others may struggle with restlessness or impulsivity, and many experience a combination of these symptoms.

The paths Assessment Process for
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Initial Consultation
The ADHD assessment process begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss developmental history, current challenges, and any previous evaluations or interventions. For children, this meeting involves parents or caregivers; for adults, it focuses on personal experiences, daily functioning, and how attention-related difficulties affect different areas of life.
ADHD Screening Tools and Assessment
Following the consultation, a range of standardised ADHD screening tools and clinical assessments are used to evaluate attention, focus, impulsivity, and executive functioning.

For children, this includes teacher and parent questionnaires such as the Conners Rating Scales and TEACH assessments, along with feedback from schools where relevant.

For adults, structured clinical tools such as the ACE (ADHD Child Evaluation) interview and, when appropriate, the Hayling and Brixton Tests are used to assess attention control and executive function.

When necessary, additional assessments may be included to provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s profile and to help differentiate ADHD from other overlapping conditions.
Feedback Session
At the end of the assessment process, you will be invited to a feedback session where the results are explained in detail. You will also receive a detailed written report outlining the findings, any diagnosis made, and personalised recommendations for ongoing support, interventions, and next steps.

Dyslexia

Estimated cost: €550

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. It is typically characterised by difficulties with phonological awareness, verbal memory, and processing speed, which can impact literacy development despite adequate teaching and intellectual ability. Persons with dyslexia may also experience challenges in writing, organisation, and working memory.

The paths Assessment Process for Dyslexia

Initial Consultation
The assessment process for dyslexia begins with a parent consultation, during which we explore your child’s developmental and educational history, strengths, areas of concern, and any previous support or assessments they may have received. This conversation helps us build a full picture of your child’s learning profile and the context in which any difficulties have emerged.
Standardised Cognitive Assessment
A comprehensive cognitive assessment is carried out to evaluate intellectual functioning, including reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. This helps to determine whether there are any underlying cognitive factors contributing to your child’s difficulties with reading and writing. Following this, a detailed literacy assessment is conducted, which examines reading accuracy and fluency, comprehension, spelling, and phonological skills. These tasks are carefully selected to identify the specific areas of difficulty that may indicate dyslexia.

To gain a complete understanding of your child’s learning experience, we also gather feedback from their teacher. This includes observations of classroom performance, learning behaviours, and any interventions that have already been implemented.
Feedback Session
At the end of the process, you will be invited to a feedback session where the findings of the assessment will be explained in detail. You will receive a comprehensive written report that outlines the results, discusses any diagnosis made, and provides individualised recommendations and referrals for additional support if needed.

Dyscalculia

Estimated cost: €550

What is Dyscalculia?

Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that affects the ability to understand and work with numbers. Children with dyscalculia may struggle with basic number sense, recognising quantities, understanding numerical relationships, recalling number facts, and performing arithmetic operations. These difficulties persist despite appropriate instruction and are not explained by general cognitive delays. Dyscalculia can significantly impact a child’s confidence and performance in school, particularly in mathematics-related subjects.

The paths assessment process for Dyscalculia

Initial Consultation
The assessment process begins with a parent consultation to gather detailed information about your child’s developmental, educational, and medical history, as well as their experiences with maths and learning in general. This meeting also explores your child’s strengths, challenges, and any previous assessments or support received.
Standardised Cognitive Assessment
A comprehensive cognitive assessment is conducted to explore your child’s intellectual profile, including verbal and non-verbal reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. This helps identify whether difficulties with numeracy are related to broader cognitive factors or specific to number processing.
Targeted Mathematics Assessments
To assess numeracy skills more directly, we use targeted assessments to assess number sense, calculation, pattern recognition, and mathematical reasoning, offering insight into the specific aspects of mathematics your child finds challenging. We also gather teacher feedback to understand how your child is coping with maths in the classroom, the types of support already in place, and how their difficulties present in a school setting.
Feedback Session
At the end of the process, we provide a comprehensive feedback session with parents or carers to explain the findings clearly and answer any questions. A detailed written report is also shared, outlining the assessment results, diagnostic conclusions (if appropriate), and individualised recommendations to support your child’s learning both at home and at school.

Preschool Developmental Assessment

Estimated cost: €450

What is a Preschool Developmental Assessment?

This assessment is designed to provide a detailed understanding of a young child’s developmental profile, identifying both strengths and areas that may benefit from early support. At this age, timely assessment can be particularly valuable, as early intervention is most effective when the brain is developing rapidly and is most adaptable. The process involves a parental consultation to gather information about your child’s developmental history and concerns, a cognitive assessment (depending on age) to explore different aspects of cognitive functioning such as language development and visual skills, as well as feedback from other professionals involved in your child’s care, such as childcare personnel, speech and language therapists, or occupational therapists, to ensure a holistic view is captured.

The paths assessment process for Preschool Developmental Assessment​

Initial Consultation
The process begins with a parental consultation, where we gather information about your child’s developmental history, current concerns, and any observations you or others may have made at various settings. This conversation helps us build a clear picture of your child’s functioning across different environments.
Standardised Cognitive Assessment
Depending on the referral question and the child’s age, a cognitive assessment may be carried out to explore different aspects of cognitive functioning such as language development and visual skills. Standardised questionnaires are also used to gain insight into your child’s behaviour, emotional regulation, social communication, and daily functioning.

We also seek feedback from other professionals involved in your child’s care, such as childcare personnel, speech and language therapists, or occupational therapists, to ensure a holistic view is captured. If needed, a school or nursery observation may be arranged to better understand how your child engages in a group setting and responds to everyday learning and social opportunities.
Feedback Session
At the end of the process, you will be invited to a feedback session, where the findings are shared and explained in a supportive, clear manner. You will also receive a comprehensive written report with a summary of results and individualised recommendations to support your child’s development, both at home and in educational settings. Where appropriate, referrals for additional assessments or early intervention services may be suggested to ensure your child receives the support they need to thrive in their early learning journey.
