Intellectual Disability Assessment
Melbourne
Comprehensive Intellectual Disability Assessment by clinical psychologists in Melbourne.
What is an Intellectual Disability?
An intellectual disability involves a significant deficit in intellectual and adaptive functioning ability. Individuals with an intellectual disability usually struggle in social, academic and everyday living situations.
Intellectual Disabilities can range from mild to profound in severity. Whilst an individual with a mild intellectual disability may be able to work a job and lead an active social life, individuals with profound intellectual disabilities will need ongoing support.
Intellectual Disability Assessment
Assessment of intellectual disability is usually conducted through the use of psychometric intelligence testing, and clinical assessment. It is important to understand how an individual’s intellectual level affects their academic, social and everyday functioning, as well as future occupational functioning.
Understanding the degree to which an intellectual disability may impact an individual’s ability to function in every-day-life will be important when considering the community and clinical supports they may need to live happy, fulfilling lives.
