Neurodiversity Assessments
Understanding ADHD, Autism, and Learning Profiles Across the Lifespan
At The Psychology Group, we believe that every mind deserves to be understood with compassion, expertise, and respect. Our neurodiversity assessments provide both children and adults with a clear, strengths focussed, evidence-based understanding of their cognitive and developmental profiles.
Taking a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach to ensure the highest standard of care, we provide services for the assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), dyslexia, learning difficulties, and intellectual ability (IQ).
What Is a Neurodiversity Assessment?
A neurodiversity assessment is a structured, comprehensive process that aims to identify and understand neurodevelopmental conditions.
Our assessments explore:
ADHD (Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined Presentations)
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Dyslexia and specific learning disorders
Intellectual functioning (IQ assessments)
Our focus is not on applying labels, but rather on understanding each individual’s unique strengths, challenges, and support needs — helping them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Who might benefit from an assessment?
An assessment may be appropriate if you, your child, or someone you care for:
Has persistent difficulties with attention, focus, hyperactivity, or impulsivity
Experiences challenges with communication, social interactions, or adapting to change
Struggles with reading, writing, mathematics, or overall academic performance
Displays difficulties that impact relationships, learning, work, or daily life
Feels “different” from peers and seeks deeper understanding of themselves
Has been recommended for further assessment by a teacher, GP, or other healthcare provider
It is important to remember that neurodivergent traits can present differently across development and between individuals — early or later-in-life assessments can provide significant benefits at any stage.
How the process works at The Psychology Group
We strive to make the assessment journey clear, supportive, and clinically robust.
1. Referral or Self-Referral
You can be referred by your General Practitioner (GP) or self-refer by completing our online booking form. We welcome both pathways.
2. Allocation to the Appropriate Clinician
Once your referral is received, we carefully allocate you to one of our highly trained Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, or Nurse Practitioners, depending on the specific needs identified.
3. Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Assessment
Our clinicians draw from a range of internationally recognised, evidence-based tools, which may include:
Rating scales
Learning and academic assessments
Intellectual ability measures
Structured clinical interviews and developmental history gathering
Input from parents, educators, or others where relevant (with consent)
We work together as a multi-disciplinary team (MDT), integrating perspectives and expertise to ensure a comprehensive understanding of each individual.
4. Recommendations and Next Steps
Following assessment, we provide:
A clear, detailed report summarising findings
Tailored recommendations for therapeutic supports, educational accommodations, or workplace adjustments
Where appropriate, discussions around medical treatment options
If indicated, medication can be discussed and prescribed by our Nurse Practitioner or referred to our Psychiatrist for ongoing management. Medical treatment is never considered in isolation, but as one part of a holistic, individualised plan.
Why Is an Evidence-Based Assessment Important?
Research consistently shows that early identification and appropriate support significantly improve long-term outcomes for individuals with ADHD, Autism, and learning differences.
Accurate assessment enables:
Access to targeted interventions and therapies
Development of self-understanding and self-advocacy skills
Implementation of effective strategies in education, employment, and daily life
Reduction in secondary difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem
At The Psychology Group, we are committed to empowering individuals and families with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the world with confidence.
