Autism + ADHD (AuDHD) Assessments for Children & Teens – Pricing & Process
Why Have an AuDHD Assessment?
Autism and ADHD often occur together, sometimes called AuDHD. A combined assessment helps explain how both conditions affect learning, attention, social skills, and emotional regulation. It gives families a clear picture of strengths and challenges, and provides recommendations for home, school, and supports such as the NDIS.
Important Note

Our AuDHD Assessment Process
Step 1: Intake Session (100 minutes)
- Parent-only session (usually telehealth).
- We gather developmental history, current concerns, and family context.
- An opportunity for you to ask questions.
Step 2: Testing Sessions (2 × 50 min + 1 × 75 min)
- Held in person at our Mount Waverley clinic.
- Includes:
- Cognitive testing (problem-solving, memory, attention, processing speed).
- Structured observations (e.g., ADOS – the gold-standard tool for assessing social communication, play, and imagination).
Step 3: Feedback Session (50 minutes)
- About 4 weeks later.
- Results explained in plain language.
- Clear recommendations for school, home, and daily life.
- Telehealth or in person.
Note: Some children may need more or fewer sessions depending on their needs.
