We help empower diverse thinkers
About CAN
Our approach
At CAN, we recognize that neurodevelopmental conditions often overlap, creating unique challenges and needs. Our innovative approach goes beyond the traditional single-disorder focus, offering a comprehensive assessment that includes ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia, among others.
Our two-tiered approach to neurodevelopmental assessment:
- Holistic Neurodiversity Assessment: This initial evaluation covers a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental conditions and related concerns, such as mood and anxiety disorders, sleep issues, and social communication challenges. It also includes an educational screening for children, incorporating insights from their academic and social environments.
- Enhanced Neurodiversity Assessment: Focused on Autism and Dyslexia, this in-depth assessment is conducted if initial findings suggest these specific conditions. It builds on the holistic assessment, providing a more targeted examination.
Our unique methodology ensures a thorough understanding of each individual's neurodevelopmental profile, guiding us in providing tailored support and interventions.
