For parents who need a clearer next step
Between WhatsApp advice and a months-long waitlist sits structured screening — questionnaires, scoring, and an RCI psychologist review before any report unlocks.
Most families arrive with a pattern, not a label: speech that isn’t catching up, school notes about attention, social play that looks different, or an adult who finally recognises themselves in a child’s assessment story. The hard part is knowing whether to wait, start therapy, or seek a fuller clinical evaluation.
Bodhana Care Assessment is built for that middle ground. You complete an age- and concern-matched package online; scoring builds domain maps; an empanelled RCI psychologist reviews and approves the report before you can download it. Use the PDF as shared language with a GP, paediatrician, therapist, or school meeting — not as a stand-alone diagnosis or disability certificate.
This is not a diagnosis, and it is not a self-scored quiz. An empanelled RCI psychologist reviews the report before any PDF unlocks. Diagnosis remains a clinical determination made by an appropriately licensed professional.
Concerns families often bring
If several of these sound familiar for more than a brief phase, a structured screen can help organise next steps.
Language & communication
Fewer words than peers, hard-to-understand speech, little back-and-forth, or loss of words that were already there.
Social & play differences
Limited eye contact or joint attention, solitary play that doesn’t shift with age, or difficulty joining peer play.
Attention & behaviour at home or school
Persistent restlessness, unfinished tasks, emotional outbursts, or school notes that keep repeating the same pattern.
Adult self-understanding
You’ve always “tried harder,” a child was assessed and the story sounded familiar, or workplace/relationships keep hitting the same wall.
From concern to a usable report
Five steps — without pretending the report replaces a clinician’s full evaluation.
- 1
Name the concern honestly
Write what you notice in plain language — age, examples, how long it’s been going on. That becomes your triage input, not a diagnosis.
- 2
Choose the right Assessment door
Child, Adult, or Teen (with consent) are live today. Mother / perinatal pathways are coming soon — not for purchase yet.
- 3
Complete the package questionnaires
Progress saves as you go. Packages are bundles of tools matched to age and concern — you buy a package, not a raw tool ID.
- 4
Wait for psychologist review
An AI-assisted draft is prepared for structure; an empanelled RCI psychologist reviews, edits, and approves before any PDF unlocks. Target is typically around 48 hours after a complete submission.
- 5
Use the report as a shared language tool
Take it to a GP, paediatrician, speech therapist, school meeting, or specialist intake. It guides next steps — it is not a disability certificate or a stand-alone clinical diagnosis.
What you get in the PDF
- ✓Domain maps and scored patterns from the package you completed
- ✓Psychologist interpretation and practical next-step suggestions
- ✓Reviewing clinician’s name and RCI registration on the released PDF
What the PDF is not
- –A medical or psychiatric diagnosis by itself
- –A disability certificate or board-mandated school evaluation
- –Emergency or crisis care — contact local clinical services if there is urgent risk
When to skip screening and go straight to a clinician
- !Sudden regression, seizures, or acute medical red flags — see a paediatrician or emergency care first
- !Active psychiatric crisis or safety risk — use local emergency / clinical crisis services
- !A treating clinician has already booked a full diagnostic evaluation and asked you not to add parallel screens
Already in therapy? Ask your therapist whether a screen would help intake or school meetings — or continue therapy and use Assessment only if a new question needs structured language.
Parent questions we hear often
Will this tell me if my child has autism or ADHD?
No. Bodhana Care Assessment is structured screening with RCI psychologist review. It organises observations and suggests next steps. Diagnosis is a clinical determination made by an appropriately licensed professional, often with observation and fuller evaluation.
Can I share the PDF with school?
Yes — if you choose to. Many families use the report as shared vocabulary in parent–teacher meetings. It does not replace the school’s formal processes or an IEP/board evaluation.
What if Mother / perinatal pathways are what I need?
Those pathways are coming soon and are not available for purchase yet. Until then, Child, Adult, and Teen doors cover developmental and behavioural screening. Contact us if you want to be notified when Mother pathways launch.
Is my data private?
Assessment flows use consent language appropriate to the door, and released reports show the reviewing clinician’s credentials. See Security and Privacy for how we approach access and care data.
