Prepare for your psychological assessment.

Follow your usual routine where reasonably possible. Take prescribed medication as directed unless your prescriber has told you otherwise.

• Review the appointment details, location and format.
• Complete requested forms or questionnaires by the stated date.
• Gather relevant previous reports, school information or records only when requested.
• Prepare a short list of the questions you most want the assessment to clarify.
• Discuss accessibility, mobility, sensory, communication or pacing needs in advance.

• Note when the concern became noticeable and how it affects daily functioning.
• Bring usual glasses, hearing supports or communication aids.
• Gather previous reports only when they are relevant and BrainLab provides secure instructions.
• Plan enough time around the appointment so the day is not rushed.
• Ask in advance about breaks, pacing or participation needs.

Virtual assessment is not suitable for every method or circumstance. BrainLab will explain which steps can be delivered online and which require in-person attendance.

• Use a private space where you can speak without being overheard.
• Confirm a stable internet connection, working camera, microphone and device power.
• Close unrelated applications and silence avoidable notifications.
• Have requested materials and a way to take notes nearby.
• Tell BrainLab if privacy, technology or the home environment may limit participation.

After appointments are complete, the clinician scores and integrates the relevant information. Every psychological assessment includes a written report and feedback appointment. Reports are generally within approximately four weeks of the final assessment appointment, although timing can vary.
