The right assessment depends on your child’s age, symptoms, and main area of concern. At NeuroLearn in Pretoria East, parents commonly choose an ADHD & Focus Assessment for attention and concentration concerns, an Educational Assessment for reading, writing, or maths difficulties, a School Readiness Assessment before formal schooling, or a Full Neurodevelopmental Assessment when there are multiple concerns. If you are unsure, start with a Parent Consultation.

If your child is struggling at school and you do not know why, start with a Parent Consultation. This gives Dr Stefnie a clear picture of your child’s development, school experience, behaviour, and current challenges, and helps determine the most appropriate next step. For many parents, this is the best starting point when the problem feels bigger than one subject or one symptom.

A Parent Consultation is the first step in the NeuroLearn process. During this session, Dr Stefnie meets with the parent or guardian to discuss developmental history, school concerns, behaviour, emotional regulation, health background, and any previous assessments or interventions. The goal is to understand the full picture and recommend the most suitable assessment path for your child.

An ADHD Assessment focuses on attention, concentration, impulsivity, and executive functioning. An Educational Assessment focuses on learning barriers in reading, writing, maths, and overall academic performance. If your child has both focus and learning concerns, NeuroLearn may recommend a broader assessment process to give a fuller understanding of what is affecting progress at school.

A School Readiness Assessment is useful when a child is preparing for formal schooling and you want to know whether they are ready academically, emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Parents often book this assessment before Grade 1 or when a child seems bright but not quite ready for the demands of the classroom.

A Full Neurodevelopmental Assessment gives a broader picture of how your child is learning, developing, and functioning. It is often the best option when there are multiple concerns, such as attention difficulties, emotional regulation, behaviour changes, developmental delays, or uncertainty about what is really going on. This assessment is designed for families who need clarity across more than one area.

Yes. Many parents seek help before their child has a formal diagnosis. NeuroLearn can help identify whether an ADHD & Focus Assessment is the most appropriate next step and provide guidance on what support, referrals, or further investigation may be needed. This is especially helpful when a child is struggling with concentration, impulsivity, or inconsistent school performance.

After the assessment, parents receive feedback, practical recommendations, and clear next steps. Depending on the assessment route, this may include a better understanding of your child’s learning profile, guidance for home and school support, and recommendations for any additional services or interventions that may help.
