Cognitive Assessments

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fifth Edition (WISC-V) English Version

The WISC-V is a globally recognized cognitive assessment used to understand a child’s cognitive strengths and challenges. In addition to providing a child's overall IQ score, it assesses a range of thinking skills, such as verbal reasoning, working memory, and visual-spatial processing.

At STARSCAPE, we take an expanded approach by including areas not typically covered in standard assessments, providing a fuller picture of a child's abilities.

Target Age: 6 years 0 months to 16 years 11 months

Duration: Approximately 2–3 hours

This assessment is ideal for parents who want to understand how their child's cognitive strengths can be applied to everyday life, learning, and growth.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fifth Edition (WAIS-V) English Version

The WAIS-V is the most up-to-date intelligence test used worldwide to understand the cognitive strengths and challenges of adults. It provides an overall IQ score, and more importantly, it measures a wide range of cognitive abilities such as verbal reasoning, working memory, and the ability to process and retain visual or auditory information. 

At STARSCAPE, we offer the WAIS-V in English, making it especially suitable for English speaking individuals and returnees.

Target Age: 16 years 0 months to 90 years 11 months

Duration: Approximately 2–3 hours

This assessment is recommended for individuals who are more comfortable in English than Japanese, and who wish to better understand how their cognitive profile can support them in daily life, learning environments, or the workplace.

STARSCAPE also provides a range of other psychological and cognitive assessments which are conducted in Japanese.

Message

In my clinical work with children, adults, and families, I’ve often noticed how easy it is for parents or teachers to focus only on what a child is  “not doing well enough”. In Japan especially, psychological assessments are often seen as something one undergoes only when there is a serious problem. As a result, adults have this misconception that assessments are for 'problem children' to take so that they can get a diagnosis. 

However, I believe assessments should be more approachable as they are valuable clinical tools for discovering strengths, unlocking potential, and understanding a child better. At STARSCAPE, I aim to make the process accessible, affirming, and easy to understand. I also strive to create reports that that not only address the concerns of families, but also help teachers understand better on how to support each child in practical and compassionate ways. 

STARSCAPE is established with the hope that psychological assessments and counselling are not just seen as ways to “solve problems,” but as opportunities for self-discovery, where worries (悩み) are gradually turns into curiosity (好奇心). For those who may feel nervous or anxious about assessments and counselling, please know that this is a space where you come talk safely, openly, and without pressure.

Advisor

Tomomi, YAMASHITA Ph.D.

Doctor of Human Sciences / Licensed Clinical Psychologist / Certified Public Psychologist (Japan) / Certified Poetry Therapist (CPT) 

Profile

Dr. Yamashita specializes in preventative psychological support for individuals going through life transitions such as career changes, study abroad, or entering the workforce. She is the first Japanese practitioner to receive certification as a CPT (Certified Poetry Therapist) in the UK, where she studied the therapeutic use of literature.

Currently based at Osaka University, her research focuses on how psychological assessments can be used as reflective tools for supporting individuals in career development and in better understanding the personal stories that shape their lives.

Message

In life, we encounter many turning points such as starting school, changing jobs, moving abroad, getting married. During these transitions, we’re often faced with a flood of choices, and it is natural to feel unsure or even overwhelmed. At such moments, it can be helpful to pause and look inward to rediscover who we are from a new perspective. Doing so may lead to more meaningful, empowering decisions.

I believe that psychological assessments and counseling are not just tools for diagnosis, but opportunities to reflect on the stories we've lived so far, and to begin writing the next chapter. Rather than focusing on what has gone wrong in the past, I aim to support individuals in understanding how they see themselves today, and where they want to go next.

I am honored to contribute to STARSCAPE’s mission by supporting the development of services that enrich each person’s journey and help their personal story unfold with greater depth, clarity, and possibility.
