Our child IQ testing services offer parents and educators a comprehensive understanding of a child's cognitive abilities and potential. These assessments can guide educational strategies and interventions to support a child's learning and development.

Child IQ (cognitive) Test – WISC (6-16 years): Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.

This test is ideal for children (aged 6 years +) who:
 Are struggling academically or socially.
 May have a learning disorder or behavioural concerns.
 Show signs of giftedness and need specialised learning strategies.
 Would benefit from a deeper understanding of their cognitive abilities.

IQ tests can provide benefits to children in several ways:

1. Assessment of Cognitive Abilities: IQ tests evaluate a child's cognitive
strengths and weaknesses, helping to identify areas where they may excel or
struggle.

2. Educational Planning: Results can guide educators and parents in tailoring
educational approaches, ensuring that children receive appropriate
challenges or support based on their abilities.

3. Early Intervention: Identifying learning disabilities or giftedness early can
facilitate timely interventions, allowing for targeted resources and support.

4. Confidence Building: Understanding their abilities can help children build
self-esteem, encouraging them to engage more actively in learning.

5. Long-term Tracking: IQ scores can serve as a baseline for measuring
cognitive development over time, helping educators and parents track
progress.

6. Career Guidance: While not definitive, high IQ scores may suggest potential
in certain fields, aiding in future educational and career planning.

How This Test Helps Your Child
1. Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses: The test helps determine areas
where your child excels or may need additional support, allowing for more
individualised learning strategies.

2. Tailored Educational Approaches: Based on the results, teachers and
parents can adjust their approaches to better suit your child's learning style,
ensuring they are challenged appropriately and receive the support they need.

3. Early Detection of Learning Challenges: If a child has learning difficulties,
an IQ test can help identify these issues early, enabling timely interventions
that can lead to better academic outcomes.

4. Gifted Program Eligibility: For children who test in the gifted range, the
results can open doors to advanced educational opportunities, like gifted and
talented programs that provide more challenging coursework.

5. Building Self-Esteem: Understanding their cognitive abilities can help
children develop a better sense of their personal strengths, boosting
confidence and motivation in school.

6. Long-Term Academic Planning: The IQ score can be used as a reference
point for academic tracking over time, helping assess growth and inform
future educational decisions.

7. Informed Career Guidance: While not the sole factor, IQ can provide some
insight into areas of potential vocational interest, aiding in long-term career
planning.

Remember, while IQ tests can provide valuable information, they are just one part of
understanding a child's overall abilities and potential. It's essential to consider other
factors like emotional intelligence, creativity, and motivation when supporting your
child's growth.
