Assessments
Rujusmita administers a range of standardised neurodevelopmental and neuropsychological assessments, selected and tailored to each child’s clinical profile and presenting needs. These include:
WISC-V · ADOS-2 · WAIS · Vineland-3 · WRAT-5 · DP-4 · BASC-3 · CONNERS-3 · VSMS · ADHD-T2 · CARS-2
Each assessment is selected based on the child’s age, referral question and clinical presentation never applied as a one-size-fits-all battery.
Working with Schools
Does a student come to mind who:
- Struggles to focus or stay on task despite clear instructions
- Has difficulty with reading, writing or academic performance relative to peers
- Shows signs of social communication differences or difficulty connecting with classmates
- Has frequent emotional reactions or finds transitions and changes overwhelming
- Has received a diagnosis of ADHD or ASD but lacks a structured support plan
- Needs more support than peers but has not yet received a formal assessment
A psychological or neurodevelopmental assessment, where clinically indicated, can provide the clarity needed to build the right support framework.
Rujusmita works closely with special educators and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to translate assessment findings into practical, school-ready recommendations guiding and training support teams in the best approach for each individual child, so they receive the right support in the right setting.
