ADHD Assessments

As children grow, they may show difficulties with concentration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, following instructions, and self-regulation. These behaviours may signal ADHD when they start to impact a child’s ability to learn, socialise, and manage daily tasks.

At MasterYourMind, we employ a comprehensive array of tools to assess for ADHD and related behavioural conditions. By utilising a variety of diagnostic instruments, we can accurately identify the supports and interventions each individual need. Our assessments are designed to offer personalised recommendations for both home and school settings, ensuring that the unique needs of every client are met.

To provide thorough and accurate evaluations, MasterYourMind integrates the following tools into our behavioural assessments dependent upon age:

  • Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System – Third Edition (ABAS-3)

What Is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental difference that can influence how individuals experience and navigate behavioural and emotional challenges across various settings, including home, school, and community. ADHD presents in three primary ways:

  1. Hyperactive and Impulsive
  2. Inattentive
  3. Combined

People with ADHD may find certain executive functions, such as initiating tasks, planning, organising, self-monitoring, self-control, emotional regulation, shifting focus, sustaining attention, and memory, more challenging. However, it’s essential to recognise that these challenges are part of a diverse range of thinking styles that also bring creativity, innovation, and unique problem-solving abilities.

At MasterYourMind, we offer a variety of supportive interventions designed to help parents and children feel understood, safe, and empowered in their journey.

Autism Spectrum Assessment

These assessments are designed to determine whether an individual is Autistic. They are also valuable for those with an existing autism diagnosis who need an updated assessment for school planning, NDIS applications, or review purposes.

The focus of our autism assessments is to gather comprehensive information about the individual’s social and emotional development, interests, behaviours, and daily living skills. Our assessments offer personalised recommendations tailored to support both home and school/work environments, ensuring that the unique needs of each client are addressed.

At MasterYourMind, we are certified in utilising the following tools as part of our autism assessments dependent on age:

  • Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System – Third Edition (ABAS-3)
  • Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition (WISC-V)
  • Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R)
  • Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2)
  • Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum – Second Edition (MIGDAS-2)
  • Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q)
  • Ritvo Autism Aspersers Diagnostic Scale – Revised (RAADs-R)

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism is a neurodevelopmental variation that influences how an individual experiences social interaction, communication, and patterns of interest and behaviour. Autism exists across a broad spectrum, with different levels of support needed to navigate daily life. These support levels are categorised as follows:

Level 1: Requiring support

Level 2: Requiring substantial support

Level 3: Requiring very substantial support

Individuals on the autism spectrum may have unique preferences, such as enjoying solitary play, finding conversation challenging, or displaying distinctive patterns of eye contact and language use. Other traits might include a preference for routine, intense focus on specific interests, and heightened sensitivity to sensory experiences like sound, touch, or texture. It’s important to recognise that these characteristics reflect a different way of engaging with the world, rather than deficits.

Some individuals on the autism spectrum may also have co-occurring developmental, intellectual, or language differences, as well as other mental health or behavioural conditions.

At MasterYourMind, we offer a variety of interventions designed to support the unique journey of skill development and self-discovery for children, adolescents, and families. Our goal is to create a safe and empowering environment where neurodiverse individuals can thrive.

While autism may bring certain challenges, it also offers a unique perspective on the world. Intense interests can evolve into significant strengths, fostering motivation and success. Every person has their own strengths and limitations, and with the right support and connection, we can all grow and overcome life’s challenges.

Academic Achievement Assessment

Academic assessments measure a child’s academic ability level in a range of areas. Results indicate a child’s skill in a particular academic area, compared to their age/grade level. At MasterYourMind we use the following tools during our academic achievement assessment: 

  • Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System – Third Edition (ABAS-3) 
  • Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition (WISC-V) 
  • Weschler Individual Achievement Test – Third Edition (WIAT-III) 

Why get an Academic Achievement Assessment? 

  • To find out if your child has any specific difficulties with reading, writing, maths or attention. A diagnosis of dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia can also be made with this assessment. 
  • To identify specific learning strategies and supports that your child will likely benefit from at home and school. 
  • To assist parents in making informed decisions about their child’s school placement, education, and extracurricular activities and applying for extra support provisions.

Cognitive Assessment

We include a cognitive assessment in all our assessments. Everyone has unique abilities that allow them to understand and interpret their world differently. A cognitive assessment can determine these abilities and provide insight into the support needed to reach their full potential. We provide personalised recommendations for home and school to further enhance an individual’s cognitive skills such as verbal comprehension, visual-spatial abilities, working memory, fluid reasoning and processing speed. At MasterYourMind we use the following tools during our cognitive assessments: 

  • Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System – Third Edition (ABAS-3) 
  • Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition (WISC-V) 

These tools can determine whether an individual has intellectual disabilities or is gifted. With the scope of these measures, we can provide support in determining the best school placement for your child or adolescent and assist schools with education planning.
