Dr Taryn Bloom - Sydney Child Testing

"Taryn is a warm, kind, inclusive, beautiful person. She is also incredibly insightful and thorough and was generous with her time, attention and manner to my child, making the assessment process very smooth. Her report was incredibly detailed. I cried with relief when reading it that someone so clearly encapsulated my child so quickly and succinctly. The report is proving to be super useful with our psychologist, paediatrician, school, and in determining next practical steps to support my child. I have been delighted with Taryn's level of service and skill and highly recommend."

"I can't recommend Dr Taryn Bloom highly enough. We suspected giftedness in our 6 year old daughter and booked an assessment with Taryn after receiving a recommendation from a friend with gifted children. She was incredibly warm, genuinely caring and friendly and she made my daughter feel at ease right away - so much so that my husband and I were able to pop out while her assessment took place. My daughter later told me that it was a lot of fun and she really enjoyed it. After the assessment, Taryn went through her findings and suddenly everything clicked and made sense to us. The full report came back about two weeks later. It backs up everything we spoke about and more and will form a vital part of my daughter's future - socially, academically and emotionally. My husband and I (and her school) now have a greater understanding of her needs and behaviours, which is incredible. We are so glad we contacted Taryn - it's the best thing we could have done for our daughter!"

"I am a Paediatrician with a special interest in Gifted Children. Dr Taryn Bloom is the psychologist I recommend for children who are suspected gifted to be assessed by. She assessed my 7 year old son and did a magnificent job. The experience itself was wonderful for both my son and I. The report she provided was outstanding and will help me to advocate for my sons needs and accomodations in school. Highly recommend."

"We recently had our son tested by Dr Taryn Bloom. Taryn had been highly recommended throughout the gifted community and is known as the gold standard in academic testing. We were nervous that our son may not want to participate in the testing as we have had feedback from school that he can be difficult to assess. Taryn was incredible with our son, they built a rapport straight away and we were able to leave him and go and have coffee. Taryn gave ample time at the end of the session to discuss her findings. Taryn went above and beyond to give us her report so we were able to approach the school before the end of the year. The principal at the school said it was one of the most comprehensive reports she had seen, and they have implemented all of Taryn's recommendations. We found Taryn to be warm and empathetic and our son said he loved the tests."

"We took our 5yo son to Dr Taryn Bloom for a gifted/talented assessment after being advised to by his daycare teachers. This was something very new to us and Taryn was very helpful and professional. She made us and our son feel very comfortable. He really enjoyed doing the assessment with Taryn. She provided us with an insight on the day and very thorough report and recommendation letter later which we were able to submit with his school enrolment to ensure he has access to the right kind of learning environment for his particular learning style. Very worth it in our eyes. Thanks Again, Phil and Leah"
