Understanding how someone's mind works is where meaningful support begins.
Lexxic provides expert, evidence-based neurodiversity assessments that give organisations and individuals clear, practical insight to drive meaningful change. Whether the starting point is a fast initial screening, a structured Workplace Needs Assessment, or a comprehensive diagnostic, every assessment is delivered by qualified psychologists and designed to produce recommendations that actually get used.
Where Would You Like to Start?
Assessments are available at every stage of the journey. You do not need to begin with a full diagnostic assessment, and in most cases a stepped approach makes more sense. The right starting point depends on what you already know and what you need to find out.
The Assessment Journey
Most people move through assessment in a stepped way, starting with broader identification of traits and moving toward more specific, evidence-based recommendations as needed. At any stage, you can access just the level of support that is right for you right now.
Screening
A fast, structured way to identify the likelihood of neurodivergent traits and understand initial strengths and challenges. Delivered using validated psychometric tools. Typically 1 to 2 hours.
Workplace Needs Assessment
A deeper, role-specific evaluation that produces tailored recommendations for reasonable adjustments. Includes input from both the individual and their line manager.
Diagnostic Assessment
A comprehensive clinical assessment that can confirm or rule out a formal diagnosis. Uses objective psychometric instruments. Typically required for examination adjustments or formal legal support.
You do not need to complete every stage, and they do not need to happen in this order. Many people access a Workplace Needs Assessment first. Some start with a diagnostic. The right pathway depends on the individual's situation.
Screening Assessments
A screening assessment provides an individual with a clear indication of whether they demonstrate tendencies associated with a specific neurodivergent condition, along with an up-to-date summary of related strengths and challenges. A Lexxic assessor uses established, validated psychometric tools to support their conclusions. A screening assessment can then feed into a Workplace Needs Assessment for specific recommendations on reasonable adjustments.
Conditions We Screen For
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia / DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder)
- Dyscalculia
- Autism Spectrum Conditions
- ADHD (Standard and Enhanced)
What Happens During a Screening Assessment
A pre-assessment questionnaire is completed in advance. During the session (typically 1 to 2 hours), the assessor will address any questions from the pre-assessment, explain the psychometric tool being used, and ask a series of structured questions to build an evidence base. Throughout the session, the assessor will answer any queries and explain what happens next.
What You Receive After a Screening
You will receive a full individual report, and your employer will receive a summary report. The individual report includes an overview of reasons for referral, job background, strengths, challenges, and strategies to support the individual, along with a summary of the screening tool results and a conclusion on whether the individual demonstrates tendencies associated with the relevant condition.
The employer summary report covers strengths and challenges relevant to the workplace and an overall conclusion. If a Workplace Needs Assessment is not being completed at this stage, both reports will include general recommendations for further support.
ADHD Enhanced Screening
For individuals in professional services who need to apply for examination adjustments, paying for a full diagnostic assessment (typically around £2,000) is often not necessary. Lexxic's ADHD Enhanced Screening is designed specifically for this situation, at a fraction of the cost.
The Enhanced Screening includes everything in the Standard screening, plus:
- Additional background information gathering, covering education as well as the workplace
- An appendix of full test scores
- A report clearly stating it has been prepared in line with SASC guidelines, reviewed and signed by a Chartered Occupational Psychologist
This is the most cost-effective route for professionals who need a credible, formal report to support an examination access application.
Workplace Needs Assessments
Lexxic's Workplace Needs Assessments (WPAs) focus on identifying practical strategies to support success in the work environment. These neurodiversity assessments consider the individual's specific job role, daily tasks, and workplace challenges.
The outcome is a set of tailored recommendations to enhance productivity and wellbeing at work. These may include suggestions for assistive technology, workplace modifications, or other one-to-one support services such as neurodiversity coaching.
Employers can use these recommendations to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment that capitalises on neurodivergent individuals' unique strengths.
One of the things that sets Lexxic's WPAs apart: we also send a questionnaire to the individual's line manager. This gives a more holistic view of what is actually happening in the workplace, not just what the individual reports, and leads to recommendations that work better in practice.
How a Workplace Needs Assessment Works
Referral
The referrer sends a completed referral form to Lexxic. Our Case Management team processes the referral on NeuroConnect and sends a welcome email to the employee, including links to complete consent and pre-assessment questions.
Pre-Assessment
The employee completes a pre-assessment questionnaire. The Case Management team also sends a Line Manager Questionnaire, providing a rounded view of the role and its demands before the session takes place.
Assessment Appointment
The assessor conducts a structured 1 to 1.5 hour session with the employee, exploring current responsibilities, working environment, strengths, challenges, and any barriers to performance.
Report and Recommendations
The assessor produces a detailed written report. Case Management then dispatches the report in line with the individual's consent instructions within agreed timescales.
What a WPA Report Includes
Our reports are designed to be clear, structured, and easy to navigate. Typically around 20 pages, they are focused on practical implementation rather than unnecessary detail.
- An Executive Summary at the beginning, covering key findings and priority recommendations at a glance
- Clear sections covering background, role context, strengths, and reported challenges
- A dedicated recommendations section with adjustments that are specific, practical, and linked directly to the individual's role
- Clearly separated sections for coaching, assistive technology, workplace strategies, and team-level recommendations, so different stakeholders can find what is relevant to them
- A Next Steps section to help managers and HR translate the report into an actionable plan

Diagnostic Assessments
A diagnostic assessment uses objective measures, including validated psychometric instruments, to confirm or rule out a formal diagnosis for a specific neurodivergent condition. It is delivered by a qualified clinician and produces a formal report that can be used for examination adjustments, Disabled Students Allowance (DSA), legal protection, or personal clarity.
We assess to help identify;
- Autism Spectrum Conditions
- ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia / DCD
- Dyscalculia
When a Diagnostic Assessment Is Typically Needed
- When a formal, confirmed diagnosis is required for examination access applications
- When an individual needs formal documentation for legal or employment protection purposes
- When previous screening has indicated tendencies that warrant a more comprehensive clinical assessment
- When an individual wants confirmed personal clarity about their neurodivergent profile
What Is the Difference Between a Screening and a Diagnostic Assessment?
A screening assessment identifies whether an individual demonstrates tendencies associated with a neurodivergent condition. It produces an indication, not a confirmed diagnosis. A diagnostic assessment uses objective clinical measures to confirm or rule out a diagnosis formally. If you are not sure which is right for your situation, our team will help you decide.
Talk to our teamStarting With the Do-IT Profiler
For organisations looking to identify needs across a wider workforce, the Do-IT Profiler takes a person-centred approach, looking at an individual's overall strengths and challenges across a range of cognitive areas as well as their wellbeing. It produces an individualised report with personalised guidance and practical workplace tools, dependent on the person's unique spiky profile, without requiring a formal appointment or referral process.
The Profiler does not provide a diagnosis. It provides a starting point: a data-informed view of how someone works best, what they find difficult, and what kind of support is worth exploring further. Where the Profiler indicates a need for more, Lexxic's screening and assessment services provide the natural next step. On this page, we focus on the workplace versions of the Profiler, for individuals in education or other settings, visit the full Do-IT Profiler website.
