Child & Adolescent Assessments
Happell Tune Psychology located in Ocean Grove, Victoria specializes in Child and Adolescent assessments.
Rod Happell has extensive experience from many years of working in the education department as a Student Support Officer conducting assessments as well as his experience in private practice.
At Happell Tune Psychology Services, we recognise that no two people learn in the same way. Learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia can affect how a person reads, writes, or understands numbers — but they do not reflect intelligence or potential. Our goal is to help individuals, parents, and teachers understand the way each mind learns best.
Cognitive assessments help us understand how a child or adolescent thinks, processes information, and approaches learning. We use these assessments to identify both strengths and challenges in a young person’s cognitive profile — providing valuable insights to support their growth and learning potential.
We understand how difficult it can be when focus, organisation, and motivation feel like daily challenges. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental difference that can affect attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation — but it also comes with creativity, curiosity, and energy.
Our ADHD assessments are designed to provide clarity and understanding, helping families and individuals make sense of their experiences and discover practical ways to support success.
Understanding Neurodiversity
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) reflects a unique way of thinking, processing, and connecting. We approach autism assessment through a strengths-based, neuroaffirming lens — celebrating individuality and focusing on understanding rather than “fixing.”
Our assessments help families and individuals gain clarity about social communication, sensory preferences, routines, and emotional regulation. This insight can guide more supportive environments at home, school, and within relationships.
