What to expect on the day of assessment

A gold-standard neurodevelopmental assessment is a thorough clinical investigation. Here is what you should expect from this provider:

  • Pre-Assessment Check: You will complete pre-screening questionnaires (such as ASRS for ADHD or AQ-10 for Autism) and gather background information.
  • Structured Diagnostic Interview: The clinician will conduct a clinical interview using validated tools (like the ADOS-2 (Autism), ADI-R (Autism), DIVA-5 (ADHD), QB Check (ADHD Assessment Tool)). They will discuss your development, school reports, and current day-to-day challenges.
  • Informant Report: Where possible, a parent, partner, or close friend who knew you in childhood or knows you well now will be interviewed to corroborate symptoms.
  • Outcome & Feedback: A detailed diagnostic report is issued explaining the diagnosis and mapping out recommended accommodations or treatment plans.

Amazing in-person clinic in Canterbury

Had my assessment face-to-face at their Canterbury clinic. The building was beautiful and calming, which really helped my anxiety. The QB check was fascinating and added concrete data to the assessment. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. Highly recommend.

Highest standard of clinical care

Psicon was recommended by my child's school. The pediatric ADHD and autism multi-disciplinary assessment was extremely rigorous. They contacted the school directly, did observations, and provided a massive, highly detailed report that has helped us secure an EHCP. Expensive, but worth every penny.

RTC adult assessment — very pleased

Referred under RTC. It took about 6 months to get seen, but the process was flawless once started. They offer online assessments if you don't want to travel, which was very convenient. Very structured and supportive.
