We provide a variety of memory assessments to children and young people in the community, at school or at home.
Memory assessments with us are suitable for children and young people up to age 25. Memory can be categorised into long-term, short-term and working memory, and we can assess one or multiple areas. Difficulties with memory could be demonstrated through a variety of challenges, including challenges with:

We help children and young people with attention difficulties, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Understanding how an individual’s memory works brings the following benefits:
Putting techniques and strategies into place, and helping a child or young person to understand why they find some areas of their life challenging can help them to become happy, safe and ready for life’s challenges.
A memory assessment can be carried out following an initial discussion, please see our process below.
At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
What happens during a memory assessment will vary depending on the specific aspect(s) of memory being assessed. Typically, children and young people will be asked to remember a sequence or phrase whilst completing a variety of other tasks in addition to recalling information they have seen or heard. The tasks are age appropriate and should take place in a calming environment to reduce unnecessary distractions.
The specific memory assessment used will be chosen based on the individual following an initial discussion. The common memory assessments we use are:
There are other assessments and ways to measure memory and these will be discussed before the assessment takes place.
After a memory assessment, information will be provided as to what an individual’s strengths and difficulties are. Recommendations can also be made to provide appropriate support to maximise a child or young person’s learning.
Reports are available to outline the assessment results and to provide specific recommendations. Reports are also available to be used in support of an application or other use. Find out more about the variety of reports we offer.
Memory can affect multiple areas of a child or young person’s life, and a memory assessment can help to put appropriate support strategies into place. Understanding why specific challenges exist can help in overcoming those barriers to learning. To find out more, or to arrange an initial discussion please contact us.
Arrange an initial discussion to find out how we can benefit your education setting. The initial discussion lasts 2 hours and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £300.
