Tell me more about the screening process
We have all screening tests relevant to neurodivergence, all in one place, for each age group. These robust tests create a profile of your child's strengths and needs, as well as provide ideas on how you can further support them.
Our screening assessments have been selected through structured review of published academic research, prioritising tests with strong validation evidence. Each has been assessed for reliability and suitability for use as a parent-completed questionnaire.
-
We provide all tests relevant to ADHD and autism all in one place for every age group. There are 65 tests in total.
-
To save parents and carers hours of research, we have done the research ourselves. We have analysed well over 1000 screening tests using standard academic and research techniques, focusing mainly on studies in academic journals, to find the tests with high-quality validation studies.
The NHS guidance and World Health Organisation (WHO) have a list of conditions that can be mistaken for autism and/or often exist alongside autism, so we have created tests for all of these too.
For sensory processing, we offer an exploratory questionnaire developed by our clinical team to help you understand your child's sensory experiences. This questionnaire is a wellness tool and has not undergone the same formal validation as our other screening tests.
-
Sylva uses the many screening tests to give you a clearer picture of your child’s strengths and challenges.
-
Sylva has been developed with clinical oversight from psychologists and a registered Clinical Safety Officer, so you can trust that safety and quality have been built in from the ground up.
-
Parents and carers should be able to complete the questions in a couple of hours – it’s specifically designed to be as easy as possible so that you can get the insights you need from home and quickly.
-
Sylva is not a diagnostic tool or a substitute for professional, medical or psychological evaluation. It is intended to provide support and resources for parents or carers who are struggling to understand what might be going on for their child.
Our focus with Sylva is to give parents/carers deeper insights and identify traits rather than offering a binary ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response to whether a child is autistic.
