We use a clear, 2 step approach to understand your child’s strengths and needs, without rushing to labels.

Level 1 Assessment

Initial Understanding

Level 1 Social Emotional Regulation Assessment (SERA) gathers detailed background information, parent insight, and structured screening tools to build a clear picture of your child’s regulation, learning and development.
For some families, this provides enough clarity and direction. For others, it helps us decide whether a more comprehensive assessment is needed.

Level 2 Assessment

Comprehensive Neurodevelopmental Assessment - Autism ADHD Dyslexia Dyspraxia and more...  

Level 2 is a full multidisciplinary evaluation tailored to your child. It may include cognitive, learning, attention, communication, motor and emotional regulation assessments as well as diagnostics for autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, mental health needs, or whatever else your child requires.

You receive a clear, compassionate report with practical recommendations for home and school, so you know what your child needs and what to do next.

Yes - Lorraine is a Principal Chartered Educational Psychologist with mental health, HSE, Department of Education and neurodiversity experience. 

All clinicians are registered with their professional regulating bodies, and EPT Clinic operates a Quality Management System that is informed by best practice CE and medical device regulation standards.  

It depends on your health policy, but if the relevant service (e.g. psychology) is on your plan, yes, you should be able to claim. Lorraine's PSI registration details are: C.Psychol., Ps.S.I. M6672C  

Yes, typically parents will have their own online or in person sessions.

If you have joined our assessment waitlist and have not heard from us after some time, we kindly encourage you to contact the clinic to ensure we have your correct details. We do our utmost to manage our waitlist carefully; however, the responsibility to stay in touch rests with parents and guardians. Email us on [email protected]

EPT Clinic provides psychological assessments and reports solely for clinical purposes. We do not typically participate in court proceedings, legal disputes, or medical negligence cases, and we do not  currently offer expert witness services.

Parents, any report you have received from us is your property, and you may share it with third parties at your discretion.

Our clinicians adhere to the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) – Code of Professional Ethics, which sets the standards for ethical conduct, clarity of professional roles, confidentiality, and the appropriate scope of psychological reporting. The PSI Code emphasises that psychologists must ensure their work is used appropriately, remain within the limits of their professional role, and apply systematic ethical decision‑making in situations where boundaries need to be clearly defined.  

Accordingly, our involvement ends with the provision of the report; we do not typically engage in legal processes, provide opinions on liability, or participate in medico‑legal proceedings without being specifically contracted to do so. 

We align with best practice guidelines, which explain that ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodevelopmental presentations can co-occur. For that reason, we offer a holistic, thorough multidisciplinary assessment that looks at all areas of development in the one assessment. We call this our Level 2 Autism ADHD Neurodevelopmental Team Assessment. 

No, unfortunately we do not have capacity to offer adult assessments. Go to www.psychologicalsociety.ie for a list of registered psychologists.
