Our
Assessments

At Very Helpful Chats, we offer a range of neuro-affirming assessments. We understand that neurodivergence presents in many different ways, which is why we take a personalised, trauma-informed approach to every assessment. Our team is experienced in assessing individuals who may not fit mainstream stereotypes, including those who have 'masked' or 'internalised' their neurodivergent traits. We recognise the complex relationship between neurodivergence and trauma, and consider the full picture of your experiences.

See below to learn more about each of our assessments!

Autism Assessments

Our Autism assessments explore and understand your possible Autistic traits. We use a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed approach to assess how Autism presents in your life, and have experience assessing 'internalised' or 'masked' Autism profiles.

ADHD Assessments

Our ADHD assessments explore how attention, focus, and executive functioning show up in your life. We use a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed approach to understand your unique experience of ADHD, including presentations that may be inattentive, internalised, or overlooked.

AuDHD Assessments

Our AuDHD assessments are for those seeking assessment for both Autism and ADHD. We take a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed approach to explore how traits from both neurotypes may show up in your life- especially when they are internalised, masked, or overlooked.

Neurodivergent Assessments

Our neurodivergent assessments support self-understanding and advocacy. We go beyond diagnosis to explore your strengths, challenges, and offer practical strategies for Autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent individuals.

NDIS Assessments

We offer two types of NDIS assessments, tailored to where you’re at in your NDIS journey and the kind of support you need. Functional Capacity Assessments are completed by our Occupational Therapists, while NDIS Comprehensive Needs Assessments are completed by our Psychologists.
