Preparing for Your Assessment
A little preparation can make a big difference.
Being prepared helps us get to know you (or your child) better and ensures your assessment is as accurate and helpful as possible.
- Feel confident and informed
- Help us understand your experiences
- Make the assessment process smoother
It's okay to feel nervous.
Our team is here to support you in a safe, understanding and respectful environment.
How to prepare
These simple steps can help you feel more prepared for your assessment.
Check your appointment details
Make sure you know the date, time and whether your assessment is online or in-person.
Gather relevant information
Think about your developmental history, previous reports, school or work feedback or any supporting documents.
Reflect on key experiences
Consider current challenges, strengths and how they impact daily life — this will help guide the conversation.
Involve someone who knows you
A parent, partner, teacher or carer may be asked for their perspective; their insight can be very valuable.
Plan for the day
Choose a quiet space, limit distractions and give yourself plenty of time so you can relax and focus.
Be yourself
There's no right or wrong way to be. Honesty helps us understand you better and provide the right support.
