Assessments

At Futures in Mind, we provide a range of assessments to explore an individual’s developmental profile and determine whether they meet diagnostic criteria for a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. An assessment provides insight into the child’s behaviour, as well as the types of support and services that could significantly improve their everyday functioning and developmental trajectory. The assessment may also identify that the child is eligible to access funded early intervention services and other supports.
