The Cycle of Private ADHD/ASD Assessments: What Every Practitioner Should Know

Like any growing industry, private ADHD/ASD assessments have followed a predictable cycle. Here’s how it has unfolded so far:

1️⃣ Early Adopters: Initially, private assessments attracted a small group of clients eager to skip public waitlists and access expert care.

2️⃣ Hyper-Effectiveness: Demand surged as practices offered quick, personalized solutions, becoming the go-to choice for faster diagnoses and support.

3️⃣ Normal Effectiveness: As more providers entered the market, competition increased, and practices had to compete on quality, pricing, and patient experience.

4️⃣ Problems (Today’s Stage): The market is now grappling with challenges like practitioner burnout, underpricing, ineffective marketing and overwhelmed systems struggling to handle the ever rising demand.

5️⃣ Specialized Success (What’s Next): To thrive in the next stage, practices will need to adapt—focusing on a niche, refining their pricing & offerings, and serving a smaller but highly aligned client base.
