At Harmony Minds, we understand that receiving a diagnosis, whether for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), can be a pivotal moment, often bringing a mix of relief, understanding, and new challenges. Our post-diagnosis support services are designed to empower individuals and families with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to navigate the next steps with confidence and clarity. We offer an integrated approach to care, aiming to enhance the quality of life and support individuals in achieving their fullest potential.

Key Components of Post-Diagnosis Support

Personalised Therapy Plans

  • Individualised Treatment Plans: Based on the diagnosis, we include recommendations tailored to the unique needs of the individual. This may include a combination of behavioural therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based approaches.
  • Goal Setting: We work with clients to set realistic and achievable goals, focusing on areas such as skill development, emotional regulation, and social interactions.

Psychoeducation

  • Understanding the Diagnosis: Providing comprehensive information about the diagnosed condition to the individual and their family. This includes the nature of the disorder, expected challenges, and strategies for management.
  • Resources and Tools: Offering access to books, articles, websites, and support groups relevant to the diagnosis to help individuals and families stay informed and connected.

Skill Development and Training

  • Social Skills Training: For individuals with ASD, we offer support to improve social interactions, communication skills, and relationship-building.
  • Executive Functioning Support: For those with ADHD, we focus on enhancing executive functioning skills such as organisation, time management, and impulse control.

Family and Caregiver Support

  • Family Counselling: Providing support to families to help them understand the diagnosis, manage stress, and create a supportive home environment.
  • Parent Training: Offering guidance to parents on effective strategies for managing behaviours, fostering independence, and supporting their child’s development.
