Neurospa Psychology provides comprehensive psychological, cognitive, and diagnostic assessments for NDIS participants in Adelaide. We currently have no waitlist for new NDIS assessment bookings, ensuring you or your child get the answers and evidence you need without delay.
We proudly accept both Self-Managed and Plan-Managed NDIS participants. Our assessments are typically funded under your Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living) budget.
NDIS-Funded Assessments We Provide
We offer a full suite of diagnostic and cognitive assessments tailored to NDIS requirements. Our reports are comprehensive, evidence-based, and explicitly link psychological findings to NDIS functional capacity domains.
- IQ & Cognitive Assessments (WISC-V & WAIS-IV): To understand intellectual functioning, cognitive strengths, and areas requiring support.
- ADHD Diagnostic Assessments: Comprehensive evaluation for attention, hyperactivity, and executive functioning challenges in children and adults.
- Autism Diagnostic Assessments: Thorough evaluation of social communication, interaction, and restricted/repetitive behaviours.
- Psychoeducational Assessments: To identify specific learning disorders (like dyslexia or dyscalculia) and guide educational support.
How NDIS Funding Works for Assessments
Psychological assessments are funded under the Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living category of your NDIS plan. How you pay depends on how your plan is managed:
- Self-Managed Participants: We will issue an invoice directly to you. You pay the invoice and then claim the funds back through the NDIS portal.
- Plan-Managed Participants: We will send the invoice directly to your Plan Manager for payment. You do not need to pay out of pocket, provided you have sufficient funds in your Capacity Building budget.
- Please note: We are not a registered NDIS provider and therefore cannot accept Agency-Managed participants at this time.
Our Commitment to NDIS Reporting Standards
We understand that the quality of your assessment report directly impacts your NDIS plan review and the supports you receive. That’s why every Neurospa Psychology report is written with NDIS requirements in mind.
We don’t just provide a diagnostic label. Our reports explicitly detail how a diagnosis or cognitive profile impacts your functional capacity across key NDIS domains (communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, self-care, and self-management). We provide clear, actionable recommendations for ongoing support, therapy, and accommodations.
Information for Support Coordinators
We welcome referrals from NDIS Support Coordinators and Local Area Coordinators (LACs). We pride ourselves on clear communication, prompt intake processes, and delivering high-quality, NDIS-compliant reports that make your job easier.
To refer a participant, please contact us directly at hello@neurospa.com.au or call 08 5117 3064. We are happy to discuss specific participant needs and confirm our current capacity and turnaround times.
