I currently offer Clinical Psychologist diagnostic assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children aged 6 – 18 years, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
All assessments are conducted according to evidence-based standards of psychological administration and link directly to the diagnostic criteria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html) (https://adhdguideline.aadpa.com.au/consumer-companion/).
ADHD assessments involve two in-person or remote video sessions, plus additional psychometric testing to be completed by the family, child (if over the age of 8) AND at least one teacher. Access to these additional testing forms will be discussed during the initial session.
All Autism assessments include the use of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd Ed (ADOS-2) and occur over three separate in-person sessions.
Costs for ADHD and autism assessments differ from that for therapy sessions due to the need for psychometric testing and the provision of a behavioural assessment report. Please reach out for more information on pricing.
