Autism- and ADHD-Related Psychometric Testing in Cape Town
Supportive, evidence-based psychometric assessments conducted by an HPCSA-registered psychometrist — contributing to broader clinical understanding within a neurodivergent-affirming approach.
What is a Psychometrist?
What does a psychometrist do?
A psychometrist is a registered mental health professional trained to administer, score, and interpret psychological assessments. These assessments help clarify cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental profiles.
Psychometrists are trained to administer, score, and interpret standardised psychological tests. These assessments contribute objective data about cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental functioning, and are often used to support broader psychological or psychiatric evaluation.
When should I see a psychometrist?
You may benefit from a psychometric assessment if you are:
- Seeking clarity around Autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent traits
- Struggling with attention, learning, memory, or emotional regulation
- Requiring formal assessment for work, academic, or therapeutic purposes
A referral is not required to book an assessment.
We provide a full range of psychometric assessments, with particular experience in neurodevelopmental and neurodivergent presentations.
