Information for teachers

Our innovative approach helps to assess young children who are experiencing emotional, cognitive and behavioural problems.

We can assess children between the ages of four and seven who do not have a pre-existing diagnosis, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, and who have challenges in one or more of the following areas:

• attention
• behaviour
• emotion
• communication and social interaction
• memory
• self-regulation.

Referral and assessment process

We are no longer able to accept any new referrals to the Neurodevelopment Assessment Unit, as our current funding will be coming to an end in July 2026 and our waiting list is now full.

If you have sent a referral and it has been accepted by the NDAU, we will contact the family to arrange the appointment when the child reaches the top of the waiting list. We will then inform you of the appointment details.

Report of the assessment

Six to eight weeks after the final appointment date, we will send you a report of the child’s assessment results. You should then meet with the child’s parents or carers to explore and interpret the child’s outcomes in the broader context of your own evaluations of the child’s strengths and challenges.
