We brought together experts in their clinical fields and the innovative practice of leading practitioners who developed two gold-standard digital assessments – Q-interactive and Q-global.
Q-interactive is our intuitive iPad-based digital system that delivers the world’s most advanced assessment tools you can take with you anywhere. And Q-global is our web-based secure and affordable platform designed to test administration, scoring and reporting.

We have developed a Telepractice page with essential guidelines, helpful advice and videos to support you through serving your clients at home.
