Ng Lam Yee (Cecilia)

With over 18 years of professional experience across Australia and Hong Kong, I specialise in cognitive, learning and developmental assessments for children and adolescents. My areas of expertise include Specific Learning Disorders (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), giftedness, intellectual disability and understanding autism-related developmental needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked in government education services, schools and private practice settings, supporting children and young people with diverse learning and developmental needs.

I am committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based assessments that recognise each child’s unique strengths, challenges and circumstances. My practice is guided by an ecological, strengths-based approach that considers the child within their broader family, school and social environments. I have extensive experience collaborating with schools, conducting classroom observations and developing educational recommendations.

Where appropriate, I incorporate teachers’ information and collaborate closely with parents, teachers and other professionals to develop a comprehensive understanding of each child’s needs. This collaborative approach helps ensure that assessment findings translate into meaningful, practical recommendations that can be applied at home and at school.

Professional qualifications and memberships

I hold a Master of Educational Psychology from the University of Hong Kong and am registered with the Psychology Board of Australia through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), with an endorsement in Educational and Developmental Psychology.

Languages

I offer psychological assessment services in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

My approach

I believe that every child has a unique combination of strengths, abilities and areas of need.

My goal is to help children and families gain a clearer understanding of their learning and development, identify areas where additional support may be beneficial, and feel confident about the next steps.

Through comprehensive assessments and practical, individualised recommendations, I aim to empower families and educators to support children in reaching their full potential.
