Assessments

Autism & ADHD, considered together.

Explore overlapping and distinct experiences through an integrated assessment.

A joined-up understanding.

Autism and ADHD can co-occur. A combined assessment considers social communication, sensory experiences, repetition and interests alongside attention, activity levels and impulsivity.

Pre-assessment questionnaires, developmental information, clinical interviews and appropriate observation contribute to the assessment. Tools may include the ADI-R, ADOS-2, DIVA-5 or Young DIVA-5, depending on age, needs and assessment format.

Feedback that connects the picture.

Clinical review brings the information together, considering alternative and co-occurring explanations. Feedback and a written report describe the outcome and personalised support recommendations.

Your questions

Will an assessment always lead to a diagnosis?

No. An assessment explores whether diagnostic criteria are met and considers alternative or co-occurring explanations. Feedback focuses on understanding your profile and identifying useful next steps, whatever the outcome.

Can I discuss adjustments?

Yes. Please share any communication, sensory or processing needs before your appointment so that suitable adjustments can be considered.
