Neurodevelopmental
Assessment
I am accepting new referrals for ADHD and Autism assessments.
I provide a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to the assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Conditions, something I have specialised training and experience in. These assessments usually start with a discussion around what is being noticed, and to gather information about their developmental years. Whilst these assessments are targeted at ADHD and Autism, a broad screen of other mental health difficulties is included to clarify potential differential diagnoses.
​
During the process of the assessment, information is collected from the client, if possible their parents, and if relevant, other collateral reports.
Following a confirmed diagnosis, I refer clients into relevant services to be reviewed.
​
For clients interested in being assessed for both ADHD and Autism, I offer combined assessments.
Services
My ADHD assessments usually include:
-
Full clinical interview with the client (and parents, if relevant) to discuss their concerns around potential ADHD and to clarify alignment with diagnostic criteria.
-
Developmental interview (with parents, if possible) to explore experiences the person has had from birth to the day of assessment.
-
Psychometric assessment questionnaires completed by the client and available collateral reporters.
-
Reports on non-home settings from collateral reporters.
-
General mental health screening questionnaires to rule in or out other mental health conditions potentially affecting functioning.
​
My Autism assessments usually include:
-
Full clinical interview with the client (and parents, if relevant) to discuss their concerns around potential Autism and to clarify alignment with diagnostic criteria.
-
Developmental interview (usually parents, if relevant) to explore experiences the client has had from birth to the day of assessment.
-
Psychometric assessment questionnaires completed by the client and collateral reporters.
-
Reports on non-home settings from collateral reporters.
-
General mental health screening questionnaires completed to rule in or out other mental health conditions potentially affecting functioning.
-
Often, Autism assessments will additionally involve the completion of an Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), a specialised assessment tool designed to explore people's interpersonal skills and approach.
​
At the end of the assessment, I will provide a full report of the assessment information collected, with additional recommendations for support at home and work/education.
