Assessments for Adults

ADHD Assessments

We are now also taking bookings for adult ADHD Assessments!

After administering the ADHD assessment, the assessing Psychologist will put all of the information obtained into a comprehensive report on all findings from the assessment. This can take up to 12 weeks for the report to be received. However, diagnosis letters, where applicable, can be provided soon after the assessment.

Please note that all assessment reports from Autism Canberra Psychology Centre are suitable for use with NDIS and / or Centrelink applications, as the completed ADHD assessment report and any subsequent diagnoses will be confirmed and signed off by our lead Clinical Psychologist, Jenny Lewis.

Please contact our reception team on 02 5110 9949 or email reception@autismcanberra.com.au to further discuss our fees, suitability and availability for booking an Adult ADHD Assessment.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments

We currently have availability for ASD Assessments for adults!

This assessment determines whether the adult meets the diagnostic criteria for an ASD diagnosis. It consists of two phases: (1) obtaining background information about the adult when they were a child, from their parents/carers during the developmental period (0-17 years, approx.), via a diagnostic interview; and (2) the adult then undertakes another diagnostic assessment. We use the Gold Standard diagnostic tools to assess for ASD.

After administering the assessment, the assessing Psychologist will put all of the information obtained into a comprehensive report on all findings from the assessment. This can take up to 12 weeks for the report to be received. However, diagnosis letters, where applicable, can be provided soon after the assessment.

Please note that all assessment reports from Autism Canberra Psychology Centre are suitable for use with NDIS and / or Centrelink applications, as the completed ASD assessment report and any subsequent diagnoses will be confirmed and signed off by our lead Clinical Psychologist, Jenny Lewis.

Please note, if an adult client wishes to undertake an ASD assessment and does not have access to someone who knew them as a child (0-17 years, approx.), then it is possible that the ASD assessment may not be able to proceed. This will also be the case with any other reputable professional who assesses for adult ASD.

Please contact our reception team on 02 5110 9949 or email reception@autismcanberra.com.au to further discuss our fees, suitability and availability for booking an Adult ASD Assessment.

Assessments for Children

Psychoeducational Assessments

This is an assessment to determine if your child meets criteria for any learning disorder (i.e., dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia). It also determines if you child meets criteria for any form of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Intellectual disability is also assessed as this needs to be ruled out to consider any learning disorder diagnosis.

After administering the assessment, the assessing Psychologist will put all of the information obtained into a comprehensive report on all findings from the assessment.

Please note that all assessment reports from Autism Canberra Psychology Centre are suitable for use with NDIS and / or Centrelink applications, as the completed Psychoeducational assessment report and any subsequent diagnoses will be confirmed and signed off by our lead Clinical Psychologist, Jenny Lewis.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments

This is an assessment to determine if your child meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Intellectual disability and intellectual impairment is also assessed as it forms part of the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for ASD. The assessing psychologist must also make comment in the ASD report whether the child exhibits a language impairment. This too forms part of the diagnostic criteria for ASD.

After administering the assessment, the assessing Psychologist will put all of the information obtained into a comprehensive report on all findings from the assessment.

Please contact our reception team on 02 5110 9949 or email reception@autismcanberra.com.au to further discuss booking an ASD Assessment for your child.
