ADHD, ASD, AuDHD Assessments

Yes. We require a doctor's or school referral outlining specific areas of concern

The minimum age varies depending on the type of assessment.

For ADHD, assessments are typically offered from age 6+, with 8+ often preferred. This is because children need to be developmentally ready to participate in the assessment process, and it allows for more consistent patterns of attention and behaviour to be observed across settings such as school.

For ASD, the appropriate age can vary depending on developmental concerns. For children under 5, we recommend first discussing your concerns with your GP or paediatrician, who can help guide the next steps.

Step 1:  Initial Information Gathering

This includes:

consent form to be completed by parents

Information form to be completed by school

School reports, medical reports, any recent Educational/ Cognitive Psychology Assessment reports and psychometric evaluation later decided by the specialist.

Step 2: Comprehensive Parent Interview

Step 3: Child / Teen Observation (if required)

Step 4: Further Assessment (depending on results from above)

Step 5: Diagnostic Report

A comprehensive report analysing all the results with a formal diagnosis is written and emailed to parents.

Step 6: Feedback session - (parents only)

Time to discuss the findings and next steps

We are unable to prescribe medication, as this falls outside the scope of practice for psychologists and clinical psychologists.

If medication is being considered, we can support this process by providing a comprehensive report and referring you to a paediatrician or psychiatrist. We also have established referral pathways, or we are happy to liaise with a provider of your choice.

Following the assessment, we provide feedback, recommendations, and a written report outlining your child's strengths, areas of need, and suggested supports. Where appropriate, we can also recommend services, therapies, school accommodations, funding pathways, and other resources to help your child achieve their goals.

Yes. We have limited assessment appointments for ADHD / ASD / AuDHD each year, and these can fill quickly. If we are fully booked, you’re welcome to join our waitlist. We’ll be in touch as soon as an appointment becomes available.

Assessment fees cover the time and expertise involved in conducting the assessment, scoring and analysing results, reviewing information, and preparing recommendations. For this reason, once the assessment has been completed, fees are non-refundable.

We require $500 non-refundable deposit to secure the appointment which is deducted from the full assessment fee once completed.

Our neurodevelopmental assessments are tailored to each individual's needs. The total fee may vary depending on factors such as the presenting concerns, the assessment questions being explored, the age of the individual, the number of assessment tools required, and the level of information gathering and analysis involved. Additional fees may apply for more complex cases.

Please get in touch, and we’ll provide tailored support.

• Clients that are more complex and/or multiple neuro development issues may result in additional charges.

Yes. We offer online ADHD assessments for eligible clients, providing a convenient option for families who are unable to attend in person or who live outside our local area.

Our online assessments follow the same professional standards as in-person assessments and may include interviews, questionnaires, rating scales, and feedback sessions conducted via secure video conferencing. Some components may still need to be completed by parents, teachers, or other key people involved in your child's care.
