Gifted Assessments will look at whether your child meets the criteria for giftedness with an IQ in the top 2% of the population (IQ of 130 or more). A giftedness assessment consists of:
Parent/individual interview
IQ assessment.
Behavioural assessment as required
Feedback and report
It is important for gifted children to be recognised as such and suitably extended in the classroom. Gifted assessments can also be used as evidence when applying for extension/talent programs.
Southside Psychology uses gold standard IQ tests including the Wechsler tests (WPPSI-IV, WISC V and WAIS IV) as well as the Unit-2 or Leiter-3 (non verbal IQ assessment as required).
Our assessments are generally conducted in our Success clinic, however a home or school visit can be arranged if required for an additional travel fee.
