We will be providing professional clinical assessments for ADHD, Autism Spectrum, and Learning Disorders, tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Conducted by experienced clinicians, these assessments utilise evidence-based tools to evaluate areas such as attention, memory, learning, and emotional wellbeing.
