    Really enjoyable, very intense but very beneficial. It was very interesting and I've come away with a lot of information. Really opens up your eyes to testing and the work that goes into everything. I now understand where a lot of the information in the manuals come from and how to administer tests and correct them. I can now do things in school that I have not done before.

  • Marie Prenderville
    Kieron was my daughter's psychologist, he made her feel completely at ease and they had a few jokes and laughs throughout the assessment, which was lovely to hear. I would 100% recommend Eirim.
    Marie Prenderville
  • We had our son assessed for Dyslexia for the second time in 3 years by Ms. Rebecca Good and we cannot speak highly enough about Rebecca or Eirim. They have excellent staff, both Rebecca and Geraldine (in the office) were extremely helpful throughout the whole process, answering any questions we had and re-assuring us on dates, time and arrangements. The service and support you receive could not be faulted.
  • From the first phone call to Eirim, to meeting with Kieron on the assessment afternoon, everyone was so supportive and caring to myself my husband and child, thank you. Kieron is an exceptionally caring person, he was super with our child and also had a lovely chat with myself and my husband. He gave us great advice, our report was ready a week after the assessment and has been a great help for our child’s school.
  • My son is 18 years of age and had an assessment done in my home as he was very anxious. He needed to be assessed to help him go forward with his education and get the correct assistance in college regarding resources available to him. I believe the money paid is invaluable as you cannot put a price on education and your livelihood in the future.

    We had our daughter assessed a few weeks ago at their offices, when we met with our Psychologist we found him to be very friendly, helpful and caring, he gave us lots of advice, direction and reassurance. We are so glad we got her privately assessed and got answers so we can finally help her.

  • Yvonne Carroll
    Thank you so much for your kindness to my son when you carried out an assessment at my home. My son was put at great ease before the test and the amount of reassurance that he received after the testing was of great benefit to him as he is 18 years of age and this put his mind at ease that he is not stupid but has a specific learning difficulty.
