Hello, I’m Michael, the owner of Waterman Psychology Services. We have over 20 years’ experience in helping children and adults with learning difficulties. With a focus on educational psychology, our goal is to help your child overcome challenges and reach their full potential. If we understand early enough that a child has a learning disorder, we can drastically improve their academic and general performance.

I’m the only psychologist in Adelaide dedicated solely to the diagnosis and treatment of intellectual disorders in children. I’m passionate about child learning / behavioral issues, but also about your family’s well-being as a whole.

Our assessments include an initial consultation, a comprehensive written report and a feedback session with the parent. With your permission, we can also liaise with your child’s school to assist in developing a personalized learning plan for your child. Since we make use of a reliable and comprehensive digital assessment system through iPads, our educational assessments also take less time and are more accurate and reliable.

CHILD EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Psychoeducational assessments are often used to identify various concerns that are linked to different learning difficulties or strengths.

CHILD ADHD ASSESSMENTS

Comprehensive ADHD assessment to determine whether your child is living with ADHD and to rule out other learning difficulties.

ADULT EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Thorough diagnosis to determine if you have a specific learning disorder such as dyslexia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia, or other concerns such as poor working memory and processing speed.

If you suspect that your child has behavioural issues or learning disorders, you should have them diagnosed in an educational psychology clinic immediately. Early assessment is the key to helping them achieve their full potential. The sooner you have a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment in hand, the better equipped you will be to help your child succeed — in school and in life.

The appointments can take up to 3 hours. This is a one-time appointment which includes the initial consult, assessment, brief feedback, and report.

The minimum age requirement for an educational or ADHD assessment is above the age of 6. We accept children up until 17 years of age or the equivalent to a child in year 12. Beyond this age you will require an Adult Assessment.

If you are seeking an appointment before the age of 6, we recommend seeing a paediatrician first and talking with your GP for other options.

No referral is needed to book an appointment with us. You can simply head over to the book appointment section on our website to schedule your appointment!

Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover educational or ADHD assessments. However, private health rebates may apply, depending on your coverage. Further, if you are on a NDIS plan, cost will vary depending on your provider.

If you need to cancel your appointment, please be aware that the deposit placed is non-refundable. However, if you need to reschedule your appointment, your deposit will remain.
