Before the Appointment: A Parent's Checklist

Everything to prepare before your child's first autism or ADHD assessment — the observations to document, the evidence to gather, and what to bring so nothing important gets missed.

What's inside

  • What to observe and write down in the weeks before the appointment
  • The school reports, therapy letters, and other documents to bring
  • Questions to ask the assessor — and what realistic outcomes look like
  • How to prepare your child for the day without heightening their anxiety
