Screening vs diagnosis: what families should expect

When a paediatrician, school, or relative says “maybe get this checked,” families often land between two extremes: informal WhatsApp advice, or waiting months for a full clinical evaluation.

Bodhana Assessment sits in the middle: structured questionnaires (including proprietary BAB screens), automated scoring, and an RCI psychologist review before any PDF unlocks. That report is screening with clinical interpretation — not a diagnosis.

Use a screen when you need clearer language for GP, school, or therapy intake. Use a full evaluation when a clinician recommends diagnostic testing, disability certification pathways, or specialised instruments that require in-person observation.

If you are in crisis or safety risk, contact local emergency or crisis services — Assessment is not a crisis line.
