Neurodevelopmental Assessments for ADHD and Autism
I am trained in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in adults, using gold-standard tools such as ADOS and ADI-R. Neurodevelopmental assessments are helpful because they provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functioning, particularly when there are concerns about conditions like ADHD, or Autism. These assessments can help identify specific strengths and areas of difficulty, which in turn enables:
Early Diagnosis
Identifying neurodevelopmental conditions early allows for timely interventions, improving outcomes.
Tailored Support
By pinpointing the exact nature of a person’s challenges, these assessments guide the development of personalised treatment or educational plans that address individual needs.
Increased Self-Awareness
The results of an assessment can help individuals and their families understand their unique cognitive profile, fostering self-compassion and resilience.
Clarification of Difficulties
They can help clarify whether behaviours are linked to a neurodevelopmental disorder or another issue, reducing confusion and frustration.
Access to Resources
An accurate diagnosis can open doors to support services, educational accommodations, and therapeutic interventions that can improve quality of life.
Ultimately, neurodevelopmental assessments help to ensure individuals receive the appropriate guidance and resources to thrive.
