Testimonials

As an allied health professional myself, I know how hard testing children can be and how important it is to get the best result at the time of testing. This is the first time I have been the parent of a child in the testing situation and I couldn’t have been happier. We are amazed and proud of our 4 year old boys’ results! Taryn, you had fantastic rapport with our son and were able to maintain his attention and bring out his potential which I believe resulted in an accurate portrayal of his cognitive level. The report was extremely detailed and was written within 2 days. I appreciate the time you have also spent in answering my questions since receiving the report. I will keep you posted on our journey into the realm of parenting and educating a gifted and talented child! May 2010

Dear Taryn,

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how important and helpful your report on E has been to us in steering her educational path. With it we were able to confidantly facilitate a grade skip across several subjects this year and she will be moving on to a new school one year ahead of schedule to access grade three-four next year. Her receiving school will be tailoring an educational and mentoring/counselling program for her and has made good use of your report to help them achieve this. Your professional assessment of her needs has helped them (and us!) immensely.
Many many many thanks! May 2010

Oh Taryn! That is fantastic! Tears of happiness here. I can't believe it, sometimes I think I make it all up and it's so nice to have proof now....thank you so much! I will definitely keep you posted on her progress at school.

Thank you very much for your assessment of xx and the beautifully written report. We will take up your recommendations for xx to encourage and nurture his continued development.

Dear Taryn,
It was great to meet you too last week and thanks so much for sending the report on time. Your report is very clear and comprehensive. My husband and I have poured over it and it has very much helped us to put things into perspective. You have provided some excellent suggestions which we will discuss with xx's teacher tomorrow. It is great that we now have some concrete information to go by. Thanks again for doing the assessment. You were lovely and I could see that xx responded really well to you!

Thank you so much Taryn. This high quality report is thorough and most informative. We are delighted with the results and very proud of xx.

"Dr Bloom was able to relate very warmly to my shy 6 year old son. He enjoyed the testing session very much and asked me on the way home when he could come back and do it all again!" K.R.

"My 7 year old son was becoming very bored at school and his motivation to attend class was deteriorating. I had met with his teacher several times to discuss this and whether he could have access to a reading group in the year ahead of him - but to no avail! Following testing I presented the SCATS report to his teacher and she agreed to have him join the advanced groups. He is much happier at school these days to our relief." P.M.

"We needed to have our daughter tested for selective school admission at very short notice and SCATS was extremely accommodating. We had the report within a week!" A J.
