How to get a diagnosis
A diagnosis is usually made by a paediatrician (after referral
by a General Practitioner) in consultation with a team of
support professionals, which may include speech therapist,
psychologist, occupational therapist, neurologist and devlopmental
paediatrician. Depending upon the age of the referred child,
input may also be sought from teachers or childcare workers.
This assessment process can take between 4 weeks and 6 months
depending upon whether or not you use the public or private
health system and on the backlog of assessments underway.
