ADHD

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

If you or your child are experiencing persistent issues with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interfere with daily life, it may be beneficial to seek an ADHD assessment.

An ADHD assessment includes clinical interviews, standardised questionnaires, and behavioral observations. It may also involve input from teachers, family members, and other caregivers.

The duration of the assessment process can vary, but it usually takes several weeks from the initial consultation to the final diagnosis and feedback session.

Gather any relevant medical, educational, and psychological records. Be prepared to discuss developmental history, current symptoms, and the impact on daily life.

Yes, adults can also be assessed for ADHD. Adult ADHD assessments focus on current symptoms and their impact on work, relationships, and daily functioning.

ASD

ASD is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction. It is called a "spectrum" because it includes a wide range of symptoms and abilities, which vary greatly among individuals.

Symptoms can include difficulties with social interactions, communication challenges, repetitive behaviors, intense focus on specific interests, and sensory sensitivities. Each person with ASD is unique and may exhibit different combinations of symptoms.

Parents or caregivers who notice developmental delays, atypical behaviors, or social and communication challenges in their child should consider an ASD assessment. Early identification can lead to timely intervention and support.

ASD can be identified as early as 18 months, but assessments can be conducted at any age if there are concerns about development. Early diagnosis is recommended for the best outcomes.

The process usually includes:

  • Detailed interviews with parents or caregivers.
  • Observations of the child's behavior.
  • Standardised tests to assess communication, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
  • Medical examinations to rule out other conditions.

After the assessment, the team will discuss their findings with you. If a diagnosis of ASD is made, they will provide recommendations for interventions, therapies, and support services tailored to the individual's needs.
