Healing Links Budget-Friendly ADHD Assessment Approach

*ADHD Assessments are not eligible for Medicare rebates, please check for eligibility with your private health insurance provider  

Discuss assessment goals, and review current symptoms. If initial minimum ADHD  criteria is met then collaboratively tailor a customized and client-focused step-by-step assessment plan. This will balance your goals and timelines with your budget constraints. 

 Where possible, we will use a customised pack of online computerised tests which will help to further explore your ADHD symptoms, and screen for other commonly coexisting conditions, in the most cost-effective way.  

This session will further explore the outcomes and any issues found with the completion of your computerised assessments portion of the ADHD assessment process. An ADHD diagnosis may be excluded at this point, the feedback in this session will provide you feedback on whether we recommend proceeding. Please note that on rare occasions we may recommend additional assessments and/or a session to further clarify a presenting issue. Typically, however, only this one session is required.

This collaborative session involves including feedback from at least one other person in your life who can provide external feedback on your symptoms. Typically a family member can comment on behaviours/symptoms before age 12. We also recommend you bring a current close friend, or partner, to support and expand upon any current symptoms. 

Whilst some may tempted to skip this session, please talk to us first on why we recommend this as part of your assessment and why this will save you $$s

 After your formal ADHD  assessment, we will assemble your completed ADHD diagnosis into a detailed and comprehensive clinical report. This report can then be used to support a request for medical treatment (ADHD medication), request education or workplace accommodations, as well as inform psychological ADHD coaching. 

 In this session, we will review your final assessment outcomes and the DRAFT diagnostic report. With your approval, the FINAL ADHD CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC REPORT will be digitally signed and sent to you and your nominated medical professionals. Finally, we will make recommendations for treatment and management of your ADHD symptoms as well as answer any of your remaining questions. Required Session: No reports will be signed/distributed without client informed approval.

As previously stated: If, at any step, we determine that you will not meet the requirements for a formal ADHD diagnosis, the assessment can be terminated with no additional cost to you.
