Intellectual Disability Assessments

Understanding Adaptive Functioning and Everyday Skills

An intellectual disability assessment considers both cognitive functioning and everyday adaptive skills to determine how an individual manages the demands of daily life.

Adaptive functioning includes practical skills such as communication, self-care, social interactions, community participation, and independent living.

Our assessments use evidence-based measures alongside interviews, observations, and standardised questionnaires to develop a comprehensive understanding of each individual’s strengths and support needs.

Assessment findings may assist with

  • Diagnostic clarification
  • Educational planning
  • NDIS applications and reviews
  • Support recommendations
  • Future planning
  • Accessing appropriate services

Our reports focus not only on identifying challenges but also recognising strengths and providing practical recommendations that promote participation, independence, and quality of life.
