Pre-Screening session Neurodivergence:
Our neurodivergence pre-screening service offers a compassionate and professional first step for families, educators, and individuals seeking clarity around learning differences and cognitive profiles. Using evidence-based tools and observation methods, we identify potential signs of neurodivergent traits such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other learning or processing differences.This is not a formal diagnosis, but rather a supportive process that provides valuable insights, guidance, and recommendations for next steps. Our aim is to empower you with clear information so you can access the right supports early, whether in school, at home, or in the workplace.We focus on creating a safe, respectful environment where strengths are recognised alongside challenges, ensuring each individual and whanau feels seen, understood, and supported.
