Our Story
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 a 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.
At our practice, all our assessments are completed by fully qualified psychologists. While some practices use provisional psychologists to keep costs low, we are able to do this without the use of provisional psychologists. See all assessments here.
Comprehensive Educational Assessments in Adelaide for
Learning Disorders or Behavioural Issues
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.

BOOK AN ASSESSMENT
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.
