ADHD/Autism Assessments
ASSESSMENTS FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS
Dr Mazur offers comprehensive ADHD and Autism assessments for both children and adults. Assessments are undertaken in conjunction with other multi-disciplinary colleagues where appropriate.
Dr Mazur offers the option of a screening assessment to help individuals and families decide if the assessment is right for them.
Our approach
Dr Mazur’s clinical practice is informed by recommendations from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines. She takes time to get to know each individual, enabling a full understanding of their experiences, strengths and challenges.
Dr Mazur is trained in a number of assessment tools including the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO). She is skilled in differential diagnosis as a result of her many years of experience. Dr Mazur’s holistic reports include a clear formulation and recommendations.
Dr Mazur works in partnership with the Malvern Hills Private Practice (ADHD Medication – Psychology & Counselling- Therapists in Malvern for Adults, Couples & Children)to provide a smooth onward referral for ADHD medication with their independent prescriber for children aged 11 + and adults.
