What is neurodiversity support, pre-screening or pre-assessment for children?

Comprehensive Neurodiversity Pre-Screening Focused on Your Child’s Strengths and Needs

Our thorough pre-screening process highlights your child’s unique strengths while identifying educational and developmental challenges related to neurodiversity. We spend around two hours working closely with your child and parents, gathering valuable insights through friendly conversations and a variety of activities in maths, English, and writing.

Involving parents is key — your perspective enriches our understanding and helps create a complete picture. To keep your child comfortable and relaxed, screenings can be conducted online, allowing them to participate from their familiar home environment. This reduces anxiety and encourages open expression, especially for children who may feel hesitant in school settings.

After the session, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining potential indicators of ADHD, Autism, Pathological Demand Avoidance, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, sensory processing differences, emotional challenges, and other relevant traits — alongside your child’s strengths.

If requested, we can include your General Practitioner in the report and support you in exploring clinical assessment options. Early identification and referrals are vital, particularly for children in educational settings.

We also provide practical recommendations for reasonable adjustments at school to support your child’s learning and wellbeing — adjustments that can be implemented swiftly once the report is agreed upon.

Additionally, we recognise the benefits of holistic therapies and can guide you toward those resources to maximise your child’s potential.

Our pre-screening process often brings new insights for families, creating moments of discovery and deeper understanding that help you support your child’s growth in meaningful ways.
