I offer neuroaffirming neuropsychological, academic, Autism and ADHD assessment for teens and adults, both via Telehealth and in Abbotsford, Melbourne. I have a strong professional interest in identification of Autism in women and non-binary people, and my assessments take into consideration cultural differences and "masking". I offer follow-up sessions to assist you to process the diagnosis (or absence of a diagnosis), and to implement recommendations. I am experienced in working with the NDIS.
As someone with both advanced clinical training in neuropsychology and lived experience of neurodivergence, I bring a wealth of compassion, insight and skill to my work. I am able to conduct cognitive/academic assessment in combination with, or in addition to autism and ADHD identification, and can provide advice on adaptations to therapy.
I'd love to support you on this journey and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Please note that the cost of assessment ranges from $1200 - $1700, depending on complexity. I offer cost-reductions for low-income earners, and for the Aboriginal community. Further details are available on my website at mindkit.com.au.
