Pre-Assessment

Service Description

Start your journey with a personalised pre-assessment consultation designed to determine the most appropriate pathway for your neurodevelopmental needs. This structured, research-informed consultation includes screening questionnaires, clinical discussion and follow-up analysis to clarify whether a full ADHD or autism assessment is appropriate. The service is suitable for: - Individuals exploring a possible diagnosis - Those with an existing diagnosis seeking further guidance or review - Individuals interested in Corteqa’s research-informed pathways and evolving support services Your consultation is conducted with a clinical researcher and includes: - Review of completed screening questionnaires - Structured clinical interview exploring symptoms, history and functioning - Screening across ADHD, autism and related neurodevelopmental traits - Consideration of previous diagnoses or clinical reports where relevant If you are unsure whether you require a full ADHD or autism assessment, this consultation provides clinical clarity and direction. For individuals already diagnosed elsewhere, it offers an opportunity to explore tailored support options, further guidance and appropriate next steps. Corteqa operates within an academic and clinical research framework, and this consultation may also provide opportunities for ongoing engagement with future services, treatment pathways and research programmes.
