- In preparation of the initial appointment, we collate screening questionnaires that are sent prior to the session to capture information about possible neurodiverse traits and overall wellbeing.
- At the end of the session, we will discuss recommendations of next steps (proceed to full assessment or alternative recommendations).
(Before proceeding to a full Autism or ADHD assessment, we will need to complete an initial assessment).
