This isn't your standard ADHD assessment training.

This is the mash up that brings culture, lived experience and clinical practice all together in a room and goes "Okay, talk. All together".

This two-day immersive workshop is for psychologists and allied health practitioners who want to do ADHD assessment in a culturally responsive, neuroaffirming and trauma informed way. We're bringing together the clinical frameworks you need with the cultural responsiveness your clients deserve, and doing them in the most ADHD, dopamine-filled way to merge the three lenses authentically.

Across two days, you'll learn to:
 

• Understand what ADHD is... both what is represented in the DSM-5 as well as lived experience and research accounts

• Conduct developmentally informed ADHD assessments across child, adolescent, and adult populations.

• Administer and interpret a range of ADHD assessment methods—including structured tools such as the DIVA-5, Conners-4, BRIEF-2, WISC-V subtests and the Vineland

• Integrate multi-source data such as collateral information, developmental history, and clinical interviews

• Differentiate ADHD from other co-occuring conditions, such as autism, anxiety, learning disabilities, trauma.

• Conduct cultural assessments interviews that tease apart ADHD from culture and trauma

• Write *practical*recommendations that clients can actually use.

And—this is the part that changes e v e r y t h i n g—you'll learn to adapt both assessment and intervention for multicultural communities, grounding your practice in cultural identity, family systems, and the realities your clients are actually living.

You'll leave with tools you can use immediately and a workbook we know that you'll want to refer to time and time again, and a fundamentally different lens through which to see ADHD, neurodivergence, and the humans sitting across from you.

This training reinforces Ethical & Professional Practice, meeting PsyBA’s overarching standard for evidence-based, culturally safe and client-centred care. This includes the ethical use of assessment tools, transparent formulation, respectful communication, appropriate documentation, and inclusive reporting, ensuring that clinicians uphold the professional and ethical responsibilities expected within psychological practice.

Both Anushka and Sandhya bring their lived and clinical experience as ADHDer South Asian Psychologists into this workshop that help attendees start to see the full picture.  Anushka is a TEDx Speaker, co-host of "Girls that ADHD" podcast, co-author of Undefeated, a Professional Migrant Women project, and winner of the 2025 South Asian Women in Business - Health Business of the Year.

Sandhya has none of those accolades, but is an internationally recognised speaker on Autism and ADHD and an Amazon best-selling author, which is also good apparently.
