Neurodiversity Profiling Tool
(Going live shortly...)
What is the Neurodiversity Profiling Tool?
The ND profiling tool is a visual document that assesses nine developmental strands of a child or young person aged 0-19 years. This includes speech and language, energy levels, attention skills, emotion regulation, sensory processing, flexibility and adaptability, and empathy.
Its intention is to provide a holistic view of a child or young person’s needs and suggests types of strategies that can be put in place to help manage those needs in different areas of a life, including at home.
The process of completing the profile is done with the family, and not for the family. For further information, please click the link below:
