What Mind helps with

ADHD Assessment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Autism Assessment

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

Specific Learning Disorder Assessment

Determines whether someone has a specific learning disorder and provides detailed information about cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

Giftedness or IQ Assessment

Determines whether someone fits the criteria of intellectual giftedness and provides detailed information about cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

Intellectual Disability Assessment

A standardised assessment of thinking, learning and memory abilities administered by a psychologist. Results identify a person's cognitive profile, highlight strengths and areas of difficulty, and inform recommendations for school support, therapy and NDIS access.

Combined ADHD and Educational Assessment

Our approach

Mind In Action uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-based CBT, and Compassion-based cognitive therapy to help children and teens develop resilience and emotional wellbeing. Sessions focus on helping kids get into the life they want despite life's inevitable struggles, addressing issues like anxiety, behaviour, attention, and learning difficulties. The approach aims to bring resilience, compassion, awareness, creativity, flexibility and joy. For parents, the service works collaboratively to identify and grow helpful patterns while managing unhelpful ones that contribute to behavioural, attachment, and emotional issues. Parenting sessions combine hands-on strategies for managing difficulties with mindful work on parents' own patterns and wellbeing.

Working with families
