Neurodiversity Support
Overview
Diagnostic Assessments and Screening
Neurodiversity assessments will specifically explore how you take in and process information around you, ascertaining if you are a neurodiverse thinker with the aim of providing appropriate recommendations for you and your employer. Format meets all requirements for ‘Access to Work’ and ‘DSA’ funding.
I can explore the following potential areas through in-depth assessment and screening:
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Dyscalculia
Dysgraphia
Sensory Processing Disorder
ADHD*
Autism*
*Assessment screenings for ADHD with me follow recommended guidelines however ultimately a psychiatrist clinical assessment is required for a medical diagnosis and pharmacological treatment. My recommendations focus on specific non-medical support and pathways suitable for immediate workplace adjustments to support challenges and difficulties.
*Autism screenings with me follow recommended guidelines however ultimately a multi-disciplinary assessment would be required for formal medical diagnosis. My assessments are suitable for initiating immediate workplace support.
Neurodiversity Profiling
Initial Consultation and Information Gathering
I begin by conducting an initial consultation to understand the concerns, challenges, or performance issues encountered. I will gather relevant information about presenting strengths and challenges, personal history, work environment, job demands, and any existing accommodations or support in place.
Comprehensive Assessment Processes
Using the most advanced technology in this area, I administer a comprehensive assessment, part of which is only accessible to registered and chartered psychologists.
Analysis and Interpretation of Assessment Results
I thoroughly analyse and interpret the assessment results, considering both quantitative and qualitative data. This allows me to gain an understanding of strengths, challenges, and areas for development and potential accommodations or support within the workplace.
Diagnosis and Recommendations
Based on the assessment findings a comprehensive report will be provided. I also offer Workplace Needs Assessment which provides further in-depth information tailored to your occupation. This may include bespoke guidance on physical work environment, tools, technology and techniques specifically related to your job and employer.
What is my approach?
Undertaking a neurodiversity assessment is the first step in empowering your strengths and addressing your specific challenges associated with a specific difference.
Employers are more aware than ever before of how to support neurodifferences, but you both need to understand what it is you need to perform optimally in your role.
The neurodiversity assessmentwith Helen was so appreciated and long overdue! I know it will really help me in the future.
It has been a massive relief to know why certain things are difficult, yet other parts of my job are easy. I hope I can now access some real support for the first time in my life.
