  • Step 2 - Initial Consultation.

    Your first visit focuses on gathering a comprehensive history and understanding the specific chllenges and strengths of the individual. It’s a space for open dialogue where we discuss your primary concerns and what led you to seek an assessment. This session can be conducted face-to-face or via telehealth for your convenience.

    Documentation to Bring

    Please bring any relevant documents that could provide insight into the individual’s developmental history, such as past medical or educational reports, feedback from teachers, reports and letters from other allied health professionals (e.g., occupational therapist, speech pathologist), or any documented observations over time.

    Tools & Techniques

    For each assessment we employ a blend of evidence-based tools specific to the assessment type (e.g., ADHD, Autism, learning difficulties, brief cognitive, etc.), including structured observations, interviews, and standardised instruments tailored to age an individual presentation.

    Duration

    Each assessment is thorough and can span multiple sessions to ensure we capture the nuances of the individual’s behaviour and experiences. Each session’s length and the total number of sessions required will vary based on individual needs and type of assessment.

    FAQs

  • Step 4 - Feedback.

    After the Assessment

    Following the completion of the assessment, we’ll schedule a dedicated feedback session. Here, we’ll discuss the findings, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the results and any potential diagnosis. This session can be conducted face-to-face or via telehealth for your convenience.

    Clients will receive a detailed report that outlines the assessment findings, diagnosis (if applicable), and our evidence-based recommendations for the way forward.
