Psychological Interventions
At Capability Support Services, our psychologists specialise in conducting a wide range of assessments designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. We offer both face-to-face assessments across the Gold Coast and Brisbane, as well as telehealth services nationwide, with a particular focus on reaching rural and remote areas. Our assessments include cognitive assessments to evaluate intellectual functioning, behavioural assessments to identify and address challenging behaviours, ADHD assessments to diagnose and manage attention-related concerns, and autism assessments to better understand and support individuals on the autism spectrum.
Each assessment provides valuable insights, allowing us to tailor interventions that enhance the individual’s quality of life. Our dedicated team works closely with participants and their families to ensure that the support provided is specific to their needs, promoting long-term success and personal growth.
