Package 7: Combined Child Autism and ADHD Assessment
This package is available from 6 years of age.
At Brilliant Minds Psychology, we provide a unique experience for Autism and ADHD assessments. We follow a gold standard assessment approach.
ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a developmental disability that impacts both children and adults alike. ASD is identified with difficulties in social communication and interaction, developing and maintaining relationships, repetitive patterns of behaviour, restricted interests, as well as often experiencing sensory sensitivity. Such identified difficulties are known to create significant impairment in important aspects of an individuals life, such as home, school and interacting in the community.
ADHD is a neurodevelopment disorder, with a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivityimpulsivity that interferes with functioning or development at home, school and in community engagement. ADHD is a commonly occurring diagnosis with ASD and as such can be extremely useful toassess their presence simultaneously.
A dual assessment will provide an understanding of a child's cognitive strengths and areas of need, as well as recommendations for school and learning support. Please note that this assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis of ASD and ADHD. We do not offer school visits as a part of this package.
