Preparing for an Assessment
You're unsure what to expect from a neurodevelopmental assessment
Steps
- Speak to your doctor and request a referral. Be specific about your concerns
- Keep a diary of behaviours over 2-4 weeks: frequency, triggers, impact
- Ask school for written observations (teachers see things parents don't)
- Gather developmental history: milestones, early concerns, family history
- Prepare a list of questions for the assessment team
What you need
A notebook or phone for tracking, school contact details, patience with wait times
Why it works
The assessment process can feel overwhelming and opaque. Preparing in advance means you arrive with clear evidence rather than trying to remember everything on the spot. Professionals make better assessments when they have a comprehensive picture of your child's daily life.
Age guidance
Relevant at any age when you suspect neurodivergence. Earlier assessment often means earlier support, but it's never too late to seek one.
Real-world example
Many parents say they wished they'd started the diary earlier. Writing down specific examples — not just 'bad morning' but 'refused to get dressed, threw shoes, took 45 minutes to leave the house' — made their concerns concrete and impossible to dismiss.
Troubleshooting
- If your doctor is reluctant, you can self-refer to some services or seek a second opinion
- Private assessments are generally accepted by schools and health services
- Join local parent support groups while you wait. They're invaluable
