Diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders
Neurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning difficulties) require a specialised, multidimensional assessment. At Alcanda we carry out comprehensive assessments combining interviews, standardised questionnaires and cognitive tests.
The process includes a clinical developmental assessment, evaluation of cognitive and academic functioning, and information gathering from the surrounding environment. After the assessment we provide a report with a diagnosis (where applicable), educational recommendations and practical guidance.
We also offer guidance on schooling, coordination with educational teams and referral to specific interventions. For adults, we offer adapted assessments that can identify ADHD or neurodivergent traits.
