Assessments

Understand how their brain works.

Neuroaffirming assessments for ADHD, autism, learning and cognitive profiles, for kids, teens and young adults aged 3 to 25. Whether or not a diagnosis is the outcome, you'll come away with a clear picture and practical next steps.

My approach

Collaborative and interest-led

  • Strengths first

    We look at what works well for your young person, not just what's hard.

  • Built around their interests

    Sessions are relaxed and use the things they love, so they can show what they can really do.

  • Families included

    Parents, carers and teachers all help build the picture, and you're kept in the loop the whole way.

FAQs

Assessment questions

What ages do you assess?

Kids, teens and young adults aged 3 to 25.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can contact me directly. Some assessment sessions may attract a Medicare rebate with a referral from a paediatrician or psychiatrist.

What if it isn't ADHD or autism?

That's still a useful answer. You'll get a clear profile of strengths and challenges, plus practical recommendations either way.

Can the report be used for the NDIS?

Yes, reports can support an NDIS application or plan review. The NDIS makes its own decisions about access and funding.

Can you prescribe ADHD medication?

No, psychologists can't prescribe. With your permission I can share the report with your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist.

Not sure an assessment is needed yet?

That's okay. We can start with a few therapy sessions to get some clarity first.
