Assessment Pathways

Assessment Pathways

Application Form

The first step in the assessment pathway is to fill out our application form. This tells us a little bit about you and gives us an idea about why you’re looking to get assessed and what you hope to achieve from your assessment. If you cannot afford to pay for your assessment, please let us know or visit our Apply for Funding page as this requires a different form to those self-funding.

Invoice & Payment

Before we can refer you to our clinicians, we will send you an invoice for the appropriate amount. This must be paid before we can send your referral to our clinicians.

Initial Screening

Your referral will be screened by our clinicians to ensure the assessment is appropriate for you. If they need more information than what is in our referral, you may have a discovery call with a psychiatrist where the two of you talk about why you think you are neurodivergent, your history, and if an assessment is right for you.

You will then be asked to book in your initial appointment and will be sent some pre-assessment questionnaires.

Appointments

Appointments are typically held in-person in one of MOAI’s clinic rooms in London, however, online appointments are possible. Each assessment pathway requires a different set of appointments:

• ADHD Pathway: 2-hour clinical appointment.

• Autism Pathway: 1-hour initial appointment, 2-hour ADI-R interview, 1-hour ADOS assessment.

• AuDHD Pathway: 2-hour initial appointment, 2-hour ADI-R interview, 1-hour ADOS assessment.

Outcome Meeting

Once all your appointments are complete, you will then have an outcome meeting. This lasts 30 minutes and is where you can discuss next steps and potential support strategies such as medication, coaching, or therapy.

Management Pathway

If you and your clinician decide to pursue any of the above management strategies, you will be moved onto the Management Pathway. This varies from person to person, but your options are:

• Medication

• Therapy

• Neurodiversity coaching

• A combination of these

Together with your clinician, you will decide which of these is right for you and how best to proceed.
