Gathering input from multiple raters, such as those who assess your child's performance, holds significant advantages for several reasons. Firstly, it offers confirmatory evidence when results align across raters, while discrepancies can provide valuable insights into potential issues within the school environment, for example.

Having a broader range of data allows for more informed judgments and decisions regarding what is in the best interest of your child. Moreover, certain diagnoses require evidence from multiple contexts, such as home and school, to ensure accuracy and validity.

In cases where a diagnosis is necessary for funding purposes, such as NDIS or other support funding, the availability of multiple sources of evidence strengthens the reliability and credibility of the diagnosis.

At The Gray Area, we recognise the importance of gathering comprehensive and diverse information to ensure a thorough assessment process that leads to well-founded decisions and effective support for your child's unique needs.

Typically, we aim to process and deliver the assessment report within 3-4 weeks upon receiving the completed assessments. In the event of any unexpected delays, we will promptly inform you and provide updates on the revised timeline.

Once the report is finalised, it will be provided to you in a convenient PDF format after your Feedback Session. This allows for a comprehensive review of the assessment findings and recommendations, ensuring that you have all the necessary information to make informed decisions and take appropriate steps moving forward.

The assessment report will encompass the comprehensive results of all completed assessments, accompanied by relevant background information. Each assessment's scoring will be compared to a normative sample that is appropriate for the individual's age and sex, allowing for meaningful interpretation.

The report will offer insights into potential diagnoses based on the scoring results alone and provide general recommendations for various environments, as well as additional treatment options. If you are currently receiving treatment from a psychologist at The Gray Area Psychologists, their observations will be included in the report, further enriching the overall assessment findings and recommendations.
