Assessment Options
The Help Centre specialises in neurodevelopmental assessments. We offer the following options. Contact us directly if you are interested in a mix of the following, or if you have any further questions about what assessments include.
Autism Assessments
Our Autism (ASD) assessments for people aged 2-90 years, are used to assess and identify children and adult's neurotype and determine potential additional need for support.

An Autism Assessment can include:
- Clinical interviews with the client and carer as needed to gather important developmental history information
- Battery of psychometric surveys for the client, parents and/or teachers to complete
- Comprehensive report detailing the results and providing tailored recommendations that can be used to support the individual at home, school, or work. These reports are also often used for NDIS funding reviews to clarify the need for ongoing support.
For prospective NDIS clients, we also will provide assistance applying for NDIS, completing relevant medical evidence forms, and supporting the client and/or parent to access carer payments if needed.

This helps identify and provide recommendation for learning, and can determine whether there is any underlying specific learning disorder (SLD, e.g., dyslexia) that may be contributing to learning difficulties.
Cognitive and Learning Assessment can include:
- Clinical interviews with the client and carer as needed to gather important developmental history information
