To be awarded Full Academic Member status, an individual has to have completed a PhD in psychology, have at least two years’ experience as a researcher or educator in psychology in the College specific area of practice, and have published a notable body of relevant research in the College-specific area of practice.
Ø Dr Langsford has conducted 10000+ assessments over the past 23 years. Dr Langsford, or a Psychologist trained by him, is involved with every assessment and/or report at PECS, thus ensuring that every client attending PECS is guaranteed of benefiting from the involvement of a highly qualified and experienced Registered Psychologist.
Ø PECS ensures the assessment is conducted within 21-28 working days of the patient’s/client’s initial contact, and the report is completed within 7-10 working days from the assessment.
Ø The most common assessments conducted at PECS are for ADHD, Autism (ASD), Specific Learning Disorders (aka Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia), Intellectual Developmental Disorder, and Special Examination Arrangements.
Ø Assessments at PECS are provided at set fees to ensure no surprises for the client/patient, and attract Private Health and Medicare rebates, making them even cheaper for the referred clients/patients.
Ø Due to increasing wait-times to see a Medical Specialist; many Paediatricians and Psychiatrists are now requesting that an assessment is completed by PECS prior to the patient seeing the Specialist for the first time, so they have a wealth of information at hand at their first appointment.
