Neurodiversity-Affirming Combined
Diagnostic Autism/ADHD Assessments
for Children, Teens, and Adults

Welcome to your Dual Assessment Expedition—a unique journey crafted to understand the splendid tapestry of your neurodivergence. Here's a glimpse of what a combined Autism and ADHD assessment entails:

 

Initial consultation: $290

An important first step on your journey toward understanding your neurotype, the goal of the initial consultation is to determine if a full, combined assessment is warranted. Think of this as a friendly chat where we get to know you better; a mix of conversation and observation, sprinkled with a variety of assessment tools to understand the unique facets of your neurodivergence. It's a safe space where your experiences take center stage. By investing this time upfront, we aim to avoid any unnecessary costs associated with assessments that might not be essential for your situation. We don't want to waste your time, or charge you for conducting assessments that aren't required or helpful for you. It's a thoughtful and cost-effective approach that prioritises your well-being. You'll find more information on Our Process page.

AuDHD Assessment: $1790

Clinical Observation Session:

​For young people under 16 years of age, this is their time to help us understand their experiences. For adults, if we need to gather further information, this is where we will do so. It's about creating a safe space where your individuality shines.

​

Online Questionnaires:

Our assessment tools include convenient online questionnaires, allowing you to share your insights at your own pace and time. Your comfort is our priority, and we're dancing to your tune.

​

Once the assessment questionnaires are complete, MindScope gets to work; we'll score, interpret, perform differential diagnoses, and provide you with a diagnostic report. You'll find more information about the assessment process on Our Process​ page.
