At Aspris, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality mental health assessments for children, grounded and proven, UK-based methodologies. Our assessments are designed to provide a deep understanding of each child's cognitive, emotional, and behavioural development. We utilize globally recognized tools, including:

Intellectual Functioning

• Wechsler Preschool & Primary Scale of Intelligence - Fourth UK Edition (WPPSI-IV UK): An innovative, reliable and valid measure of cognitive development for young children. This test is made up of a number of short tasks, which are organized to measure different aspects of intellectual ability. The resulting scales give an idea of a child’s cognitive strengths and areas of weakness.
• Age: 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months
• Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 5th Edition (WISC-V): Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children® Fifth Edition (WISC®-V) is an intelligence test that measures a child’s intellectual ability and 5 cognitive domains that impact performance. This test is made up of a number of short tasks, which are organized to measure different aspects of intellectual ability. The resulting scales give an idea of a child’s cognitive strengths and areas of weakness in terms of verbal comprehension, visual spatial and fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed. It also generates a full-scale IQ (FSIQ) score which is considered the best indication of a child’s general intellectual abilities.
• Age: 7-16 years
• Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV): The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) is the most advanced and widely used adult measure of cognitive and intellectual ability. It provides you with the most advanced measure of cognitive ability in adults. It generates a full-scale IQ (FSIQ) which is considered the best indication of an individual’s general intellectual abilities.
• Age: 16 years +
• Vineland: The Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale is a standardised assessment tool that utilises semi-structured interviews to measure adaptive behaviour and support the diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism and developmental delays. It may be used to determine eligibility or qualification for special services, intervention programmes and track and report progress.
• Age: 3 years +

Academic Abilities

• Wechsler Individual Achievement Test - Third Edition (WIAT-III): Wechsler Individual Achievement Test Third Edition (WIAT®-III) is an individually administered achievement test to measure basic and broad skills for reading, writing, and math. The WIAT-IIl provides a reliable assessment of reading, language and numerical attainment in one test. There are sixteen subtests included in the WIAT, and they are broken down to measure listening, speaking, reading, writing, and mathematical skills.
• Age: 4 to 25 years 11 months

Executive Functioning

• NEPSY - Second Edition (NEPSY-II): NEPSY®-II results provide information relating to attention and executive functions, language and communication, sensorimotor function, visuospatial function and learning and memory in children up to 16 years old.
• Age: 5 years to 16 years
• RAN/RAS – Stimulus Test: The RAN and RAS Tests are individually administered measures designed to estimate an individual's ability to recognize a visual symbol such as a letter or colour and name it accurately and rapidly. The tests make an important addition to any prediction battery or diagnostic assessment of oral and written language from age five to adulthood.
• Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS): The ADOS-2 is a semi-structured assessment of communication, social interaction, and play (or imaginative use of materials) for individuals suspected of having autism or other pervasive developmental disorders. The ADOS consists of standardized activities that allow the examiner to observe the occurrence or non-occurrence of behaviours that have been identified as important to the diagnosis of autism and other pervasive developmental disorders across developmental levels and chronological ages. The ADOS provides an observation period during which the examiner presents the individual being assessed with numerous opportunities to exhibit behaviours of interest in the diagnosis of autism through standard 'presses' for communication and social interaction. 'Presses' consist of planned social occasions in which it has been determined in advance that behaviour of a particular type is likely to appear.
• Age: 1 year to Adulthood
• Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADIR): The Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R) is a semi-structured diagnostic interview used with parents or caregivers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It can be used to assess both children and adults.
• Age: 2 year to Adulthood

Memory

• Wechsler Memory Scale - Fourth Edition (WMS-IV): Wechsler Memory Scale® Fourth Edition (WMS®-IV) is the most widely used scale of adult memory. Assess verbal and non-verbal memory abilities in young to older adults.
• Age: 18 years +

Emotional, Behavioural and social functioning

• Behaviour Assessment System for Children | Third Edition (BASC-3): A comprehensive set of rating scales and forms, the BASC-3 helps you understand the social, emotional, or behavioural concerns for children and adolescents.
• Age: 2-21 years
• The Conners 3rd Edition: The Conners 3rd Edition is a thorough assessment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its most common comorbid problems and disorders in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years. It is a multi-informant assessment that takes into account home, social, and school settings, with rating forms for parents, teachers, and youth.
• Age: 6 to 18 years
