Your autism diagnosis was just the beginning, not the end of understanding how your neurotype affects your daily functioning. As life circumstances change—whether through career transitions, relationship changes, health developments, or simply the natural evolution of how you navigate the world—your support needs may shift significantly. NDIS reviews and funding applications require current evidence of your functional capacity, not outdated assessments that may no longer reflect your lived reality.

Our Clinical Neuropsychologist provides comprehensive reassessment that documents how your autism manifests in your current life context, updating your functional profile with the clinical precision NDIS planners require. This isn't a superficial review—it's thorough evaluation of how changes in your environment, responsibilities, or circumstances have affected your support needs, masking capacity, and daily functioning.

This reassessment integrates seamlessly with your broader care team through our biiography platform, ensuring your updated profile informs all aspects of your ongoing support. Whether you're preparing for NDIS plan reviews, seeking increased funding levels, or documenting new accommodation needs, our evidence-based approach provides the clinical authority that transforms lived experience into recognised support requirements.

Featured practitioners

How it works

1. Pre-Assessment Questionnaires

You complete targeted questionnaires designed to capture changes in your functioning since your original diagnosis, focusing on current daily challenges, evolving sensory needs, shifts in masking capacity, and new environmental demands. These questionnaires specifically explore areas relevant to NDIS functional capacity assessment and support need documentation.

2. Comprehensive Clinical Review (60-90 minutes)

Your Clinical Neuropsychologist conducts an in-depth interview exploring how your autism presentation has evolved, examining current functional capacity across communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, self-care, and self-management domains. We document specific examples of how your support needs have changed and gather evidence that meets NDIS "reasonable and necessary" criteria.

3. Functional Change Analysis

Your neuropsychologist analyses patterns of change in your presentation, identifying areas where support needs have increased, decreased, or shifted in nature. This includes examining how life transitions, health changes, or environmental factors have affected your daily functioning and capacity for independence.

4. Integration with Previous Assessments

Your neuropsychologist reviews your original diagnostic reports alongside current findings, creating a comprehensive picture of how your autism presentation has evolved. This longitudinal perspective strengthens applications by showing clear progression and documented need for updated support.

5. Summary Report for NDIS Review

You receive a focused clinical report specifically designed for NDIS plan reviews, funding applications, or accommodation requests. This report clearly documents your current functional capacity, changed support needs, and evidence-based recommendations using language that meets NDIS assessment criteria and funding guidelines.

6. Feedback Session

A comprehensive session where your neuropsychologist explains your updated assessment results, helps you understand how to use this information in NDIS reviews or accommodation requests, and provides guidance on advocating for appropriate support levels based on your current functional profile.
