Autism & ADHD PROCESS
What we'll do:
On average, we’ll spend around 4 hours together, usually over 3 or 4 appointments. Some assessments may take longer.
Talking about your ‘developmental history’ aka how you’ve experienced life so far. How you feel and think about yourself and others and how you interact with people, places and situations
Completing some online questionnaires designed to help me identify and verify potential autistic/ADHD traits
Discussing what we discover from our conversations and the questionnaires – your strengths and how to make the most of them, your challenges and how to rise to them.
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report detailing your diagnosis, plus recommendations for what to do next.
I offer Telehealth assessments, so we'll meet via a secure video link. Telehealth appointments give you the comfort and security of talking from a safe, familiar place where you feel secure and relaxed.
What you'll need
● Internet access
● A screen - so either a private computer, an iPad or other tablet or a smartphone.
Is it safe?
Yes it is. We will use an encrypted video call Telehealth service that complies with the Privacy Act 1988 governing confidentiality and the protection of patient information for all Australian Health Service Providers.
How we'll do it:
My hourly rate is $220.
This fee includes our appointments plus the time I spend interpreting your screening results and writing your report.
This hourly fee is below the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended rate of $300.
* NOTE: Some assessments are more complex than others. If your Intake Forms or our initial session show us that yours is one of these, we can discuss the extra time and costs we need to explore the questions you want answered.
