About the Package
The Combined Autism and ADHD Assessment
Both Autism and ADHD represent differences in an individual's brain structure and functioning which carries across one's lifespan. These differences, termed as neurodiversity, flavours a person's cognition, feelings, and overall understanding of the world. People with ADHD and Autism are neurodiverse, and may navigate the world with differences in social communication, attention span, interactive patterns, levels of energy, behaviors, and sensory experiences.
At Bruce Psychology, we use gold standard assessment tools to investigate for the presence of Autism and ADHD, while following best practice principles. Parents, teachers and children alike may be called to answer questionnaires included as a part of this package.
We recognise that Autism and ADHD often coexist, and our assessments aim to provide a holistic understanding by investigating both aspects 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. Our staff acknowledge that neurodiversity can present challenges in the modern world, and we also recognise that individual strengths and capabilities can coexist with these challenges. Within our assessment recommendations, we promote the use of coping strategies and environmental adjustments that can enhance well-being for the neurodiverse individuals and their loved ones.
Please note our assessment packages do not guarantee a diagnosis of any disorder, including Autism and ADHD. We also do not offer school visits in this package. However, we will provide an understanding of your cognitive strengths and areas of need, as well as provide a pathway for supports and necessary recommendations.
