Why Seek An ND-AE Assessment?

31 May

Have you recently experienced the diagnostic process for one or all of your children and found yourself also reflecting on the same or similar challenges growing up? Do you now find yourself mentally and physically exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, heightened from your sensory environment and unable to function optimally throughout your day as expected?

Are you an adult (18+) with a long history of depression and anxiety, have experienced treatment resistant therapy, a history of changing diagnoses, regulatory control challenges with emotion, behaviour, and/or cognition, a history of feeling misunderstood, a limited memory of childhood, difficulty with expressing needs, poor executive functioning, and challenges in finding authentic connections with others and a lack of belonging? These are common experiences of late diagnosed neurodivergent individuals.

A Neurodivergent Assessment and Evaluation (ND-AE) from Badger’s Place can help you if you are curious or inquisitive about yourself and want to:

Better understand your current strengths and needs
Receive recommendations for support
Identify your authentic neurological profile

When you know more about yourself you will be better equipped to:

Advocate for what you need
Be more compassionate towards yourself
Model compassion/understanding to others also experiencing similar experiences
Make changes to support your optimal functioning

When you know others experience the world in a similar way, it may improve a sense of belonging and connect you with neurokin.

Having lived experience of neurodivergence as well as currently supporting neurodivergent children, parents and individuals, I am able to bring an affirming lens to the entire assessment process. This means that you can be assured of a supportive and inclusive journey that will give you a deeper understanding and clarity to your strengths and needs.
