Assessment
Autism/ADHD, Functional Capacity (level reassessment)
At Moving Minds Psychology we offer comprehensive, neuroaffirming assessments for Autism, ADHD, or both. Our process is strengths-based, collaborative, and designed to help you better understand yourself — whether you're seeking answers for identity, clarity, support access, or formal documentation. You will have an answer as to a diagnosis within two weeks after your final assessment session, which will come with an optional feedback session.
Assessment Process
-
Autism Assessments involve approximately 3 hours of interview time using the MIGDAS framework (a sensory-informed, affirming approach).
-
ADHD Assessments involve around 2 hours of interview time, exploring attention, executive functioning, regulation, and more.
-
A combined Autism + ADHD assessment generally requires 4 hours of interview time.
⏱ Please note: session lengths may vary depending on the complexity of each case.
Psychometric Questionnaires
We use a range of evidence-based psychometrics (questionnaires), completed by both you and, where possible, someone who knows you well (like a parent, partner, or close friend). These tools help us build a full picture of your neurotype and experiences.
Outcome Options: Letter vs Report
After your assessment, you can choose from two outcome formats:
-
Letter Option
A brief confirmation of whether or not you meet the diagnostic criteria. This is a great option for those seeking clarity or needing written confirmation for work/study access without the cost of a full report. -
Comprehensive Report
A detailed, in-depth report that includes:-
Clinical history and presentation summary
-
Psychometric data and interpretation
-
Diagnostic formulation
-
Tailored recommendations for supports, strategies, and accommodations
This option is ideal for those wanting a deeper understanding of how everything fits together, or needing documentation for NDIS or health providers.
