Neurodiversity Affirming Assessment
At our practice, we understand and value the range of neurological differences that exist among individuals. This is why we are proud to offer Neurodiversity Affirming Assessments for ADHD and autism. We believe that assessment includes recognition and celebration of the unique strengths and challenges that come with neurodiversity, rather than looking at neurodiversity through a deficit based perspective.
Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive and understanding environment for individuals of all ages who may be seeking an ADHD or autism assessment. We recognize that traditional assessments may not accurately capture the experiences of neurodivergent individuals, which is why we have taken a more comprehensive and holistic approach to our assessments.
Our approach takes into account the many factors that can impact behavior and functioning, such as sensory processing, executive functioning, and social and emotional aspects. We also place a strong emphasis on understanding an individual's personal experiences and perspectives, as well as employing a wide selection of both broad band and narrow band assessments and scales. Through this approach, we hope to provide a more accurate and meaningful assessment for our clients, and ultimately empower them to embrace their neurodiversity. We are committed to creating a welcoming and affirming space for all individuals seeking assessments for ADHD and autism, and are dedicated to promoting neurodiversity acceptance and understanding within our practice and the community.
We also know that assessment is not a one-size-fits all experience. Therefore, we have a menu of assessments offerings available. Please have a look at the Assessment Menu page, and feel free to reach out with any questions!
