Rebecca Machado – Educational & Developmental Psychologist

Becky is a compassionate and dedicated Educational and Developmental Psychologist who partners with families to better understand and support their child’s development. With extensive experience assessing and diagnosing neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and learning challenges, Becky has worked across hospitals, schools, private practice, the NDIS, and educational support services. Her comprehensive understanding of diagnostic processes and support systems across WA and Australia empowers families to navigate their child’s journey with clarity and confidence.

Clinical Approach

Rather than following the typical “one-size-fits-all” assessment model for conditions like Autism, ADHD, or learning disorders, Becky takes a more personalised approach. She tailors each assessment to explore the unique challenges her client may face, taking into account their life experiences, cultural background, gender differences, and any potential co-occurring conditions. Her goal is to provide an assessment that truly reflects her clients needs and strengths. Her strength-based approach ensures that parents walk away with practical insights and actionable strategies to help their child thrive at home, school, and beyond.
