What assessment will my child undertake?

# data[].attributes.body
Depending on your child's needs, it may be that they will be assessed for ASD or ADHD or both.

The assessment process can look different for different people so please do not worry if some assessments seem quicker than your child's assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Your child will now have been allocated a care coordinator. This clinician will be your named point of contact and will organise your child’s assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
It is possible that your expectations regarding the cause of your child’s difficulties may differ from the outcome of the assessment.

We look at all areas of a child’s life and what may be contributing to their challenges.

Difficulties may sit outside that of neurodiversity.

Having an open mind is key.
