Autism Assessment with comprehensive report

Online and in-person autism assessments are available for children and teens aged 12 and over, as well as adults. Assessments for children under 12 are only completed in person from my office in Fairy Meadow, NSW - these cannot be completed online.

We will first meet up for a 50 min intake appointment to explore a little bit of your history and speak about why you are pursuing an assessment. If we decide to go ahead, we will then move forward with the formal assessment component.

You will be sent a range of online questionnaires to complete prior to your assessment. These may be completed by you/your child, or by people who know you or your child well. This might include parents, adult siblings, or even friends, depending on your current circumstances.

During the assessment I will then spend some time asking you about your/your child's history and development across a range of different situations. 

This usually takes around 3 hrs, but you are of course, welcome to take breaks as needed.

Your report will be ready within 4-6 weeks, and we will then schedule a final 50 minute session where I will provide you with feedback and you will have a chance to ask questions about your  assessment and report. Please note that this report is unlikely to grant you access to NDIS funding on its own. 

The fee for this service is $1800. 

ADHD Assessment with comprehensive report

Online ADHD assessments are available for children, teens and adults aged 5 and over.

We will first meet up for a 50 min intake appointment to explore a little bit of your/your child's history and speak about why you are pursuing an assessment. If we decide to go ahead, we will then move forward with the formal assessment component.

You will be sent a range of online questionnaires to complete prior to your assessment. If the assessment is for your child, I will also ask you to send through any relevant school information that may help us understand your child's experience in this setting. I will ask your child's teacher to complete questionnaires, and I may speak directly to them via email or phone.

During the assessment I will then spend some time asking you about your/your child's history and development across a range of different situations. 

This usually takes around 2 hrs, and you are welcome to break this up into 2 x 1hr appointments if you need. 

Your report will be ready within 4-6 weeks, and we will then schedule a final 50 minute session where I will provide you with feedback and you will have a chance to ask questions about your  assessment and report.

The fee for this service is $1500. 

*Please note, a diagnosis of ADHD alone is NOT sufficient to access NDIS funding

*Please also note that I am not a doctor and therefore not able to provide any medication. If you already know that you would like to explore medication as an option for you or your child, I recommend you see a paediatrician or psychiatrist rather than undergoing your assessment here with me.

Giftedness Assessment with comprehensive report

Giftedness and other cognitive assessments are available for individuals 6 years and above, in-person only from my office in Fairy Meadow, NSW - these cannot be completed online. 

We will first meet up for a 50min intake appointment to explore a little bit of your/your child's history and speak about why you are pursuing an assessment. If we decide to go ahead, we will then move forward with the formal assessment component.

You will be sent a range of online questionnaires to complete prior to your assessment. These may be completed by you/your child, or by people who know you or your child well. If the assessment is for a child or teen, I will also more than likely speak with their teacher or school or ask you for relevant reports or prior test results.

The cognitive assessment is completed over 1 x 1-2hr appointment. If you are concerned that your child may be underachieving at school, or their cognitive assessment suggests that they may be struggling in particular areas, we may also complete an achievement test, which takes a further 1-2 hours and can be completed during an additional session. This will be discussed with you either during your intake appointment, or after your child's cognitive assessment has been completed. 

Your report will be ready within 4-6 weeks, and we will then schedule a final 50 minute session where I will provide you with feedback and you will have a chance to ask questions about your assessment and report. 

The fee for this service is $1300 for cognitive assessment only and $1700 for a cognitive assessment plus achievement testing.

Autism or ADHD Assessment with a letter only

This option is available for those people who do not want or need a comprehensive report.

I will complete the assessment as per the details above, but instead of completing a full report, will provide you with a brief letter outlining the results.

This letter will not be sufficient to gain access to NDIS funding but is provided as a more cost effective way to gain clarity around your/your child's neurotype.

The fee for a brief Autism or ADHD assessment is $1300. 

The fee for a brief combined Autism/ADHD assessment is $1900
