At Child Assessment Clinic, we believe that every child’s brain is wired uniquely, and that difference is not something to be "fixed"—it is something to be understood and supported. Traditional assessments often focus on what a child cannot do. We flip the script to focus on who your child is.

​​​

Why Choose Us?
We’ve built our clinic to provide a faster, more compassionate, and deeply personalised experience.​ What you can expect from us:

​

1. A Neuroaffirming Lens
We operate under the neurodiversity paradigm. This means we view ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergent profiles as natural variations of the human experience. Our goal isn't to provide a list of deficits, but to support your child’s natural way of being.

​​​

2. Strengths-First Framework
While we identify the challenges your child faces, we place equal weight on their interests, talents, and unique perspectives. We believe that identifying a child’s strengths is just as important as identifying their support needs for school or home.

​

3. Sensory-Safe & Connection-Based
The clinical environment can be overwhelming. We prioritise:

• Environmental Comfort: Dimmable lighting, fidget tools, and quiet spaces.

• No "Performance" Pressure: We don’t force eye contact or "standard" sitting. We meet children where they are—whether that’s on the floor, moving around, or communicating through play.

• Autonomy: We respect a child’s right to say "no" or take breaks, ensuring the assessment process is a collaborative, trauma-informed experience.

​

4. Honest & Ethical Screening

• Every enquiry begins with a 10–20 minute screening call to discuss your specific needs.

• If we don’t believe an assessment is appropriate, we will tell you.

• If an alternative process would better suit your concerns, we will direct you to it.

• We value your time and resources above all else.

​

5. Fast, Functional Results

• One-Week Turnaround: Your comprehensive report is completed within one week of the assessment.

• NDIS Ready: Our reports are specifically designed to be used for NDIS funding applications.​

​

6. Beyond the Diagnosis
A diagnosis is just the beginning. Our reports are written in accessible, non-pathologising language that you can share with educators and family members and the NDIS. We provide actionable, "neuro-inclusive" recommendations that focus on environmental adjustments and support systems rather than trying to change the child’s personality.

​​

7. We are excellent at what we do. 

We combine clinical expertise with a genuine passion for celebrating neurodivergent identities. We aren't just clinicians; we are advocates. Our team stays at the forefront of neurodivergent-led research and community feedback. We understand the emotional journey parents go through, and we are here to provide a space of validation, clarity, and support.
