ADHD is a neurocognitive disorder that contributes to difficulties with inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. To make a diagnosis of ADHD, it is important to gather information about the individual's behaviours in more than one setting.
For children, information will typically be obtained from parents and teachers. The psychoeducational assessment tests may thus include:
For adults, psychometric assessments may include:
ASD is characterised by difficulties in social interaction, communication, repetitive behaviours and sensory sensitivities. An assessment will provide a better understanding of the individual, and enable the relevant treatment and intervention to be given. Our assessment may include:

The Singapore Ability Scales (SAS) is "an individually administered, comprehensive instrument designed to measure clearly identifiable abilities that are significant for leaning and educational performance."
The SAS is developed through a research conducted locally- a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Singapore and the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The research involved 2,000 children from different age groups and school settings.
The SAS is the only standardised cognitive abilities test using Singapore's local norms. This means that the assessment is developed from a representative sample of school-age children in Singapore. As opposed to other assessment tools developed outside of Singapore, SAS is more relevant to the local children population, in terms of the test being locally accepted and culturally appropriate.
The SAS can comprehensively and flexibly assess the different aspects of a child's current cognitive functioning across the age range of 5 years to 18 years and 11 months.
The SAS comprises of 3 components:
Grade norms are available for the Achievement Scales in Word Reading, Spelling and Number Skills from Primary 1 to Primary 6.
