Approach
Assessment should answer a real world question
The aim is not simply to count traits. A useful process explains development, current context, functional impact, strengths, uncertainty and what practical changes may help.
The scope, professional role, fee, limits of confidentiality and intended output should be clear before work begins.
- Collaborative and respectful communication
- informed by neurodiversity without assuming an outcome
- Evidence considered across time and settings
- Clear boundaries around medical, legal and emergency needs
