Psychology Assessments
in Dubai
Comprehensive, gold-standard psychological evaluations to understand your Learner's unique profile — and chart the clearest path forward.
Why a Psychological Assessment Matters
A thorough psychological assessment gives you clarity — a precise picture of your Learner's cognitive, adaptive, social, and emotional functioning. It answers the questions that matter most: why your Learner is struggling, what their strengths are, and what support will make the biggest difference.

Common Questions
How long does a psychological assessment take?
Most assessments span two to three sessions of 60–90 minutes each, plus a parent interview and report-writing time. The full process typically takes two to four weeks.
Will my Learner receive a diagnosis at the end?
Where the evidence supports it, our psychologist will provide a formal diagnosis. In all cases you receive a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations, regardless of diagnostic outcome.
Are your reports accepted by Dubai schools and the DHA?
Yes. Our reports are prepared to meet the documentation requirements of Dubai schools, the Dubai Health Authority, and most international educational institutions.
Does my Learner need a referral from a paediatrician?
A referral is not always required, but it can be helpful for insurance purposes. Contact us and we will advise based on your specific situation.
Can assessment lead directly into ABA therapy at AIS?
Absolutely. Many families move from assessment into an ABA or behavior support program with us, using the assessment findings to design a tailored intervention plan.
