About Us
At EPT Clinic, we believe every child and teenager deserves to have their neurodevelopmental strengths and needs understood. We deliver best-standard psychological and multidisciplinary assessments and documentation, paired with a clear support pathway and access to ongoing multidisciplinary care.
Our work is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming model that values both neurotypical and neurodivergent expertise. We combine psychological science with lived experience to deliver best-practice, person-centred care for children, adolescents, and families. Our neurodevelopmental assessments include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, speech and language, emotional regulation, sensory, trauma and attachment needs.

We provide a holistic neurodevelopmental assessment training to all members of our team in our trademarked Neurodevelopmental Assessment System.
