Our approach

Hester Psychology uses a respectful, neurodiversity-affirming approach to assessment that recognises neurodivergence is not a deficit. Sessions involve direct work with the child, caregiver interviews, and collaboration with healthcare providers and schools to build a comprehensive understanding of each child's unique profile. The assessments explore attention, sensory processing, communication, learning differences, and social development, including Autism and ADHD profiles. The aim is to provide clarity and practical recommendations that honour each child's potential, helping families, schools, and health professionals understand how the child processes and responds to the world. Meaningful support starts with accurate understanding tailored to the individual child's needs.

Working with families

Caregiver involvement is central to the assessment process, beginning with initial interviews that form part of the comprehensive evaluation. The team collaborates directly with parents and caregivers throughout, and can gather observations from schools and early childhood settings when appropriate. You'll receive a written report with practical recommendations designed to support your family, along with a clear plan and timeline from the outset. The team also welcomes questions and clarification—if you're unsure about whether assessment is right for your child, you're encouraged to contact them to discuss your concerns.

Your first visit

At the initial stage, you'll submit an online referral form sharing details about what you're looking for, then the team reviews the referral and confirms whether an assessment is the right fit. If appropriate, you'll receive a clear plan outlining the assessment process, indicative costs, and timeline. The assessment itself includes direct work with the child, caregiver interviews, observations at daycare or school where appropriate, and collaboration with healthcare providers. You'll receive a written report with practical recommendations to support school planning, funding applications, and next steps. If you're unsure whether assessment is appropriate, the team is happy to clarify options at the outset.
