Autism and ADHD Assessments
Here at Willow Tree Psychology and Wellbeing, we offer Autism assessments, ADHD assessments, or combined Autism/ADHD assessments.
Autism Assessment (ages 17 years – adulthood):
At Willow Tree Psychology & Wellbeing our Autism assessments are conducted by our neuro-affirming psychologists who have experience in understanding internalised and masked autism profiles. Our neurodiversity-affirming autism assessments fundamentally respect and acknowledge the diversity of neurological experiences and aim to provide a supportive and understanding environment throughout the assessment process. We understand how impactful an Autism Assessment can be for individuals on the path of self-discovery and look forward to supporting you through this process.
What to expect:
Our Assessments are conducted ons-site at Willow Tree Psychology and Wellbeing or via Telehealth, so you can be in the comfort of your home while going through the assessment process.
Initial forms and questionnaires will be sent out prior to your initial appointment, providing helpful information to the assessing psychologist to assist with the clinical interview.
We use the MIGDAS-2, the current most neuroaffirming autism diagnostic tool available, to explore autistic traits in childhood and adulthood. This typically takes 2-3 hours. You are welcome to bring a support person to this appointment.
After your letter or report is completed, a 50-minute feedback session will be scheduled to discuss the assessment outcome and provide individualised recommendations.
Disclaimer Regarding NDIS Eligibility for Autism Assessment:
Please note that the assessment and diagnosis of Autism conducted here may not automatically qualify an individual for access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS eligibility criteria are comprehensive and require consideration of various factors beyond diagnosis alone.
The assessment provided aims to offer a thorough understanding of the individual's strengths, challenges, and support needs related to autism. It can assist in accessing appropriate interventions, educational accommodations, and support services tailored to the individual’s requirements.
For NDIS eligibility, additional documentation and assessments may be necessary, including functional assessments of daily living and evidence of substantial and permanent disability. We recommend consulting with NDIS representatives or disability service providers for specific guidance on eligibility criteria and application processes.
