ADHD and Autism Pre-Assessments

Explore whether an ADHD or Autism assessment may be appropriate and receive guidance on your next steps in a supportive, neurodivergent-affirming environment

Autism Pre Assessments

If you've been wondering whether ADHD may explain some of the challenges you or your child/young person have experienced throughout your/their life, a pre-assessment can help provide greater clarity before pursuing a formal diagnostic assessment.

​

Together, we'll explore your experiences in areas such as attention, organisation, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and executive functioning.

 

Using evidence-based screening questionnaires alongside a detailed clinical discussion, we'll identify whether your presentation is consistent with ADHD and discuss the most appropriate next steps.
