Neurodiversity Profiling for families just starting out

If you feel something isn’t quite right with your child but aren’t yet sure what you’re seeing, the Orientation Package is designed for you. It’s a gentle introduction to Neurodiversity Profiling, providing clarity, reassurance and a clear sense of direction, particularly if you’re not yet sure you want to proceed to formal diagnosis.

Who this package is for?

The Orientation Package is the gentlest entry point into Neurodiversity Profiling. It’s often the right fit for families who:

  Feel something isn’t quite right but can’t yet put their finger on what
   Want to understand their child better before pursuing formal diagnosis
  Need a clear sense of direction and next steps
  Are looking for reassurance as much as answers

If your concerns feel more complex or you suspect co-existing conditions alongside ADHD, the Exploration Package may be a better fit.

What you’ll take away

Following the session, you will receive:

   A clearer understanding of what may be going on for your child
  Practical, tailored recommendations for home and school
  Guidance on next steps, whether that’s further assessment or targeted support

Please note: the Orientation Package does not include a written report. If you need a written report to share with your child’s school or other professionals, the Exploration Package is the right choice.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during the session

During the 2-hour session, we take time to understand your child as a whole, looking beyond behaviours to what may be driving them.

Areas we explore

  • ADHD traits:  Including Attention, Impulsivity and Regulation in everyday life
  • Emotional Regulation:  Understanding triggers, responses and capacity to manage feelings
  • Ehlers-Danlos (where relevant):  Considering any physical factors that may be impacting wellbeing

We also look at

  • Your child’s strengths and individual profile
  • Patterns at home and school
  • Early indicators of neurodivergence or co-existing needs

This isn’t a formal diagnostic assessment. It’s a supportive profiling session designed to help you understand your child and decide what to do next.

What is Neurodiversity Profiling?

Neurodiversity Profiling is a structured way of understanding how your child experiences the world. It looks at traits associated with ADHD, Autism and other neurodivergent profiles, alongside Emotional Regulation and any Co-existing needs. It’s not a formal diagnosis, but it gives you a clearer picture of what’s going on.

What happens after I book?

Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll contact you within one working day to arrange a time that suits you. We’ll also send a short pre-session form to help us prepare, so the 2 hours together can be as useful as possible.

Can I upgrade to a fuller package later?

Yes. Many families start with the Orientation Package and then progress to the Exploration or Navigation Package if a deeper understanding is needed. We’ll guide you on what makes sense based on what comes up in the session.

Is the session face-to-face or online?
All sessions are held online. This makes it easy to fit around family life, school runs and work, with no travel involved. We’ll send you a secure video link once your booking is confirmed.
