A neurodevelopmental assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines various aspects of an individual’s development, including cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioural functioning. It involves gathering information through clinical observations, standardised tests, and input from caregivers to provide a clear understanding of the individual’s strengths, challenges, and support needs.
A neurodevelopmental assessment can be used to evaluate a range of conditions, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. These assessments help identify challenges in areas such as attention, social interactions, communication, and academic performance, enabling the development of tailored support plans.
