What is pre-screening or pre-assessment for children?

Holistic Neurodiversity Screening - Emphasising the Strengths of the Child

 

Our comprehensive neurodiversity pre-screening process emphasises the strengths of the child while also identifying educational challenges related to their neurodiversity. 

I dedicate approximately two hours to engage with your child and their parents. 

Involving parents is essential, as their insights enhance my understanding of the child. I will ask questions, gather information in a friendly and informal manner, and observe the child with a few  various activities in mathematics, english, and writing.

To facilitate a comfortable experience, I offer online screening, allowing your child to stay in a familiar setting. This approach can help reduce anxiety and encourage open expression of their feelings, which is particularly beneficial for children who may be hesitant to share their emotions in a school environment.

Following the screening, you will receive a detailed report outlining potential indications of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Autism, Pathological Demand Avoidance, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, emotional issues, sensory processing differences, and any other relevant traits, alongside your child's strengths. 

If requested, we can include your General Practitioner in the report and assist you in exploring clinical pathways if desired.

Early identification and appropriate referrals are critical, especially for children in educational settings.

We will also provide recommendations for reasonable adjustments at your child's school to support their academic success. 

These adjustments can be implemented promptly after the session, following the completion and agreement of the report by parents.

Additionally, we believe in the value of holistic therapies to maximize each child's potential and can guide you in this direction if you wish to pursue it.

The holistic pre-screening serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding your child’s unique way of functioning. 

It is often enlightening for parents to discover new insights, as I have frequently heard them say, "I didn't know that about you," when we uncover various traits, triggers, and strengths. 

This deeper understanding allows families to better support their child’s development following the screening.

 

You have the option to pay via Klarna for pre-screening.
