Kelli's passion is in providing neurodiversity affirming ADHD and autism assessments for teens and adults! As an ADHD-er herself, Kelli understand how exhausting and tedious an assessment can be and that everyone learns and engages a little differently, so assessments are tailored to your brain style. This process involves a thorough differential diagnosis, carefully examining various potential factors to ensure a precise and accurate conclusion. Given that neurodiversity often mimics other conditions, such as anxiety or mood disorders, it’s crucial to undergo a meticulous evaluation process to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.
The assessment spans multiple sessions, either virtually or in person, and is designed to capture a comprehensive understanding of your unique experience. This includes self-assessments, sensory processing evaluations, and a detailed review of your executive functioning. In addition, we will carefully explore key aspects of your personal history, including childhood development, educational performance, trauma experiences, and medical background, as these factors are often integral to understanding the broader context of your symptoms.
Depending on your needs, the assessment may also incorporate specialized tools like trail-making and other tests to further evaluate cognitive flexibility and processing speed. To gain a well-rounded view, we also request collateral information from a close family member, partner, or friend who can provide additional insights into your day-to-day functioning.
Following the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive, detailed report of the findings. This report is designed to give you a clear and holistic understanding of your results and is carefully reviewed with Kelli during a final feedback session. If accommodations are required, whether for work, school, or other settings, it is important to check with the specific institution to ensure our evaluation meets their requirements for accommodation approval.
Kelli aims to make this process engaging, fun and insightful!
