Autism & social communication
A comprehensive pathway that considers development, communication, behaviour, sensory experiences and daily functioning.
KKAsk about assessmentClarity begins with the right questions—not a test alone.
Our psychologists combine clinical interviews, observation, history and suitable standardised tools to understand strengths, difficulties and support needs.
What we assess
Assessment pathways for different questions.
The most suitable pathway depends on age, concerns, context and the purpose of assessment.
Attention & ADHD
Assessment of attention, activity, impulse control and functioning across relevant environments.
Learning difficulties
Evaluation of reading, writing, academic skills and cognitive abilities where dyslexia or another learning difficulty is suspected.
Cognitive & adaptive functioning
Understanding thinking skills, strengths, support needs and practical functioning in everyday life.
Emotional & behavioural concerns
Clinical assessment when mood, anxiety, behaviour or adjustment concerns require clearer understanding.
Adult neurodevelopmental concerns
An appropriate starting point for adults wondering about ADHD, autism or longstanding differences in functioning.
How it works
A careful process from concern to recommendation.
- 1
Initial consultation
Discuss concerns, history, development, functioning and the purpose of assessment.
- 2
Assessment plan
Your psychologist recommends only the tools and information sources relevant to the question.
- 3
Assessment sessions
Standardised tasks, questionnaires, interviews or observation may be used depending on need.
- 4
Feedback & recommendations
Results are explained in plain language with practical recommendations and referral options.
Important distinction
Screening and assessment are not the same.
A free screener can help identify whether further discussion may be useful. It cannot confirm autism, ADHD, a learning disorder or a mental health diagnosis.
A formal diagnosis requires an appropriate professional assessment. Reports and assessment fees vary according to the tools and purpose involved.
