Neuro-Affirming, Strengths-Based Evaluations for Kids & Adults
In-person or telehealth services in Gainesville and North Florida
At Play and Wellness Center, we believe neurodiversity is a natural part of human diversity. Our Autism and coming soon, our ADHD assessments are designed to be affirming, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, honoring your or your child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and engaging with the world. We use current, evidence-based tools (such as the MIGDAS-2 for Autism and DIVA-5 or Young DIVA-5 for ADHD) to capture your or your child’s unique experiences, without pathologizing differences. Because every person’s brain works differently, and there’s no 'one right way' to think, learn, or engage with the world.
