4-Hour Webinar:

Conducting neuroaffirming diagnostic assessments

This webinar is a crash course in conducting comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming diagnostic assessments. We aim to equip you with the skills to create meaningful referral questions, tailor test batteries, engage children in the process, provide neuro-affirming feedback to parents and children, and write impactful reports that create empathy for the child and will be read by parents and teachers. Hosted by clinical psychologists, Dr Jade Goodman and Brianna Thomas.

  • Identify Meaningful Referral Questions: Learn to formulate questions that go beyond a simple diagnosis, addressing the child's unique needs and context.

    Tailoring Test Batteries: Discover how to select and customise assessment tools to align with specific referral questions.

    Engaging Children: Techniques to involve children in the assessment by helping them generate their own questions, fostering a collaborative environment.

    Neuroaffirming Feedback to Parents: Strategies for providing feedback that addresses both explicit referral questions and unspoken concerns parents may have.

    Writing Effective Reports: Tips on crafting reports that are clear, concise, and useful for all stakeholders involved in the child's care.

    Leave the training with a folder of resources, including templates and relevant readings.
