Diagnostic

Assessments

ADHD and Autism are neurological conditions which can affect both children and adults. Because such conditions can have a significant impact on one’s daily life, obtaining an assessment is often the first step in finding the right support and guidance to manage your condition and achieve your full potential. Psychologists who form part of the paths team are experienced in carrying out assessments for ADHD and Autism and have thorough knowledge of related conditions. From the initial consultation session, they will provide you with a space to ask questions and support you throughout the assessment process.

Assessment

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Cost: Between €600 – €850 depending on assessments carried out

What is Autism?

Autism is a condition which affects how an individual perceives and interacts with the world around them. Autism exists on a spectrum, affecting people in different ways, including: challenges with social interaction, communication, building and maintaining relationships and restricted and/or repetitive interests or behaviours.

The paths assessment process

The ASD Assessment at paths involves the following:

1. Initial Consultation
During this session, detailed background information will be gathered, including a screening questionnaire to identify the challenges the individual is facing in their everyday life. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about your first meeting with a psychologist. However, our professionals are skilled at helping clients feel safe and comfortable, moving through the assessment at your own pace.
2. Autism Diagnostic Interview
This is a structured, standardised, extended interview designed to elicit a range of specific information. For Child Assessments, this is carried out with a parent or caregiver, gathering current behaviours and developmental history. For Adult Assessments this will be carried out with the client himself and, with the client’s consent, a family member (parent/caregiver or partner). The interview focuses primarily on the identification of developmental delays, differences in reciprocal social interactions, language, communication and play and on restricted and stereotyped behaviours and interests.
3. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, also known as the ADOS assessment, is a tool psychologists use to assess autism in children, adolescents and adults. It’s a standardised, semi-structured, observation assessment tool which allows us to observe and gather information regarding an individual’s communication, reciprocal social interaction and restricted and repetitive behaviours, in a variety of different social situations. It is scored by two different ADOS-trained professionals, to ensure maximum reliability of the scoring. During the session, the assessor presents numerous opportunities for the individual being assessed to exhibit behaviours of interest in the diagnostic process.
4. Standardised Cognitive Assessment
This test is carried out to identify whether specific cognitive difficulties are contributing to the symptom presentation. It is used at the discretion and clinical judgment of the assessor.
5. Feedback Session
The professional who carried out the assessment will provide you with a detailed written report, which will be discussed and thoroughly explained. A diagnosis may be provided in this report, if applicable. Guidance and recommendations will then be provided with regards to the condition and any further tests which may be useful.

Assessment

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Cost: Between €500 to €850 depending on assessments carried out

What is ADHD?

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. ADHD interferes with day-to-day functioning and/or development and, while it may affect people of all ages, symptoms tend to become most noticeable in childhood.
ADHD can impact different aspects of one’s life, including academic and work performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Although ADHD is a lifelong condition, it is also treatable and support is available

Why is obtaining an ADHD Assessment important?

  • It provides more understanding on the nature of your symptoms
  • It helps differentiate ADHD from other possible conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression, learning disabilities)
  • It guides treatment recommendations (e.g., therapy, medication, lifestyle changes)
  • It builds greater self-awareness and provides validation for your challenges

The paths assessment process

A comprehensive ADHD assessment process is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of your symptoms and how they may be impacting your life.
An ADHD assessment at paths typically involves the following:

1. Initial Consultation
During this session, detailed background information will be gathered. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about your first meeting with a psychologist. However, our professionals are skilled at helping clients feel safe and comfortable, moving through the assessment at your own pace.
2. Screening Tools
You will be asked to complete a series of self-report questionnaires in relation to ADHD symptoms and mood.
3. Standardised Assessment
An in-depth interview with the person referred and someone who was present during one’s childhood, if possible, will be carried out.
4. Feedback Session
The professional carrying out the diagnosis will provide you with a detailed written report, which will be discussed and thoroughly explained. Guidance and recommendations will then be provided with regards to treatment options and lifestyle changes which may help manage symptoms. These may include therapy and behavioural strategies, as well as referral to a psychiatrist to discuss the possibility of medication.
