Neurodiversity & Learning Assessments:

Clarity for ADHD, Autism & More

Sometimes the hardest part of understanding ourselves—or our children—is figuring out why things feel so challenging. Whether it’s focus, learning, memory, or navigating emotions, having clarity can make all the difference.

At Umeed, we provide comprehensive assessments for ADHD, Autism, learning difficulties, and other areas of neurodiversity. Our approach goes beyond ticking boxes—we look at the whole picture: strengths, struggles, history, and lived experience.

A psychoeducational or neurodiversity assessment isn’t about labels. It’s about insight. It’s about giving you (or your child) the language, strategies, and evidence needed to access the right support—whether at school, university, work, or in everyday life.

Our team uses gold-standard tools and a culturally responsive lens, ensuring you feel understood rather than “fitted into a mould.” After the assessment, you’ll receive a clear, detailed report along with practical recommendations you can actually use.

Because at the end of the day, assessments aren’t just about answers—they’re about opening doors: to self-understanding, to the right supports, and to a future that feels possible.

  • We offer assessments for children, teens, and adults. Whether it’s a parent wanting clarity about their child’s learning, a university student seeking accommodations, or an adult wondering about ADHD or Autism, our assessments provide answers and pathways forward.

  • We provide assessments for:

    • ADHD (all ages)

    • Autism (all ages)

    • Learning difficulties (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)

    • Cognitive and educational functioning (e.g., memory, processing speed, IQ testing)

  • An assessment can provide clarity when there are ongoing challenges with focus, learning, emotions, or social situations. It also provides formal evidence that may be required for school adjustments, workplace accommodations, NDIS applications, or access to services.

  • No referral is needed to book an assessment directly with us. However, if you’re seeking rebates through Medicare or NDIS, your GP or other health professional may need to be involved.

  • We don’t just hand you a report and send you on your way. We sit down with you to explain the results, answer your questions, and guide you towards the right supports, strategies, and services.

  • A culturally responsive assessment goes beyond test scores and takes into account your cultural background, language, family context, and lived experiences. Standard tools are often created in Western contexts, which can miss or misinterpret the strengths and challenges of people from diverse communities. At Umeed, we make assessments culturally safe by asking about your identity and story, adapting how we communicate, and making recommendations that fit your real life and values. The reports we provide are still gold-standard and valid for schools, workplaces, and services like the NDIS—but they’re also written in a way that truly reflects you, not just a diagnosis on paper.

Testimonials

  • "We always knew our son was bright, but school was such a struggle. The assessment gave us answers we’d been searching for and, more importantly, a plan to help him thrive. His teachers finally understand how to support him."

    Client, Age 10, Academic & Cognitive Assessment

  • "Getting assessed for ADHD as an adult was life-changing. I thought I was just lazy or disorganised, but the report showed me I learn and process differently. For the first time, I felt understood—and now I have strategies that actually work."

    Client, Age 28, ADHD Assessment

  • "I was worried an assessment would just put me in a box. Instead, it highlighted my strengths as well as my challenges. The team at Umeed explained everything so clearly and with so much compassion. It gave me language for my experience and opened doors to the support I needed."
