What happens in a diagnostic assessment?
Initial consultation: You might be unsure of whether your needs a full assessment or whether something else might be happening for you/them, so this session is here to reassure you and provide you with some initial answers.

Assessment: For a full diagnostic assessment the number of sessions and time needed can depend on lots of different things. An Autism or ADHD assessment can take about 2-4 sessions. We will be transparent with you to let you know what is needed and how long it will take, once we have met with you.

Things you are likely to be asked to do during an assessment:
- Fill out some questionnaires from your perspective.
- Have an interview about your life and needs
- Do a standardised assessment and do some activities and answer some questions.

Feedback: Once the assessment is completed we will inform you as to whether you meet the criteria for Autism and/or ADHD. If you do not meet the criteria we will give you an explanation as to why you present as you do and provide you with some recommendations of what to do next.

Report: We will provide you with a full and comprehensive assessment report for why the decision was made. We will also provide you with a short summary letter (if wanted).

Next: We will provide you with recommendations for what might be helpful for you moving forward. For example, we will provide recommendations for; work, relationships, mental health etc. We know a range of helpful organisations and resources that could help you after a diagnostic outcome and of course we are all here to support you at nkind.

NOTE:
We are a Psychology led service with a multi disciplinary team. However we do not offer recommendations or prescriptions for ADHD medications or medications for physical or mental health disorders. If what you are needing/wanting is medication please choose an alternative provider.
