At CAYP, Holly offers diagnostic assessments of neurodevelopmental differences (Autism and ADHD). Her neuroaffirmative assessments highlight a child’s strengths (in addition to their challenges) with the aim of reducing stigma and promoting a positive self-identity. She also completes cognitive assessments to better understand a child’s learning profile. By conducting these assessments, it allows young people and their families to access to the right support and empowers families and education settings to make reasonable adjustments to support the child to thrive.
