An Integrative Cognitive Profile

A diagnosis following an assessment for autism, ADHD, dyspraxia or other related condition essentially says that your child ticks enough boxes in the diagnostic criteria to warrant a diagnosis. However, a diagnosis provides no information about:

  • How to create better strategies to make your child’s life easier at home, or at school.
  • What is actually causing the difficulties for which a diagnosis was sought (for example there are myriads of different ways of being autistic).
  • You may get some ideas of what reasonable adjustments to ask for at school, but these are likely to be generic and may not be appropriate for your child’s specific underlying issues.

A diagnosis simply places you into a category that is so broad that a diagnosis does not tell you very much.

If your child is unhappy at school or their behaviour at school or at home is negative, it is likely that no one has ever got to the root of the actual problem. Therefore, any interventions that are in place may not be working, or may even be doing more harm than good. Just because your child may have similar difficulties to another child, does not mean the underlying issues are the same. Interventions should be tailored to the child according to their actual underlying issues and not according to their symptoms or diagnosis.

Aspiedent offer a service that helps you get to the root of the issues for children diagnosed with, or on the diagnostic pathway for, Autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, or other related conditions. Suggested interventions are provided to detail what will help in school and at home. This is an Integrative Cognitive Profile, though we often call it an autism/ADHD/etc profile.

An Integrative Cognitive Profile, is generally life changing for the better, because they help both the child and people around them to understand their individual strengths and weaknesses and how they interact with each other.

If you are on the diagnostic pathway, then an Integrative Cognitive Profile can help you make the necessary adjustments while waiting for a diagnosis.

An Integrative Cognitive Profile is for when a diagnosis is not enough. You may know WHAT your child is struggling with, but do you know WHY?

At Aspiedent we go deeper than surface symptoms. Our profiling framework, developed by Dr Elizabeth Guest (BSc, PhD, PGCHE) by Dr Elizabeth Guest (BSc, PhD, PGCHE), is designed to get to the root of what is actually going on. We do not stop at labels like autism or ADHD, we look at how your child thinks, learns, processes information, handles sensory input, and focuses their attention - and more importantly how all of these things interact.

The key differences in our approach are:

  • We go beyond symptoms to identify the underlying cognitive issues causing them
  • We analyse how those issues interact with each other, not just in isolation
  • We build a complete picture of the child including their strengths and not just what their weaknesses
  • Our recommendations are tailored to your child’s specific cognitive profile not their generic diagnosis

The result is a clear and detailed picture of your child’s cognitive make up. We explain why they are struggling, why certain strategies may not be working, and what will help instead both at school and at home.

During an Integrative Cognitive Profile, we work to develop a deep understanding of:

  • Any sensory issues
  • How your child thinks and learns
  • How your child processes information
  • Interests along with focus and attention
  • How they express (or struggle to express) emotion
  • Executive functioning

We provide clear recommendations that make a measurable difference and we back these up with explanations you can actually understand and use. For many families, the Integrative Cognitive Profile is a turning point not just for their child but for their relationship with their child.


Benefits of Truly Understanding Your Child

Detailed Understanding

A diagnosis gives you very little information about your child. We provide the detail around the specific ADHD, Autism or other cognitive issues that is unique to your child.

Access To Education

A better understanding of the right interventions and support needed for your child to be able to thrive in education. This will help you identify the right educational setting.

Correct Misconceptions

When you understand what is really going on behind the symptoms, you can respond to your child’s needs instead of reacting to surface behaviours.

Better Home Life

Once you understand what drives your child’s behaviour, it removes the guesswork, helps you respond in ways that actually work, and ultimately home life becomes easier.

Better Strategies

You will gain practical and personalised strategies that work for your child’s specific way of thinking instead of generic advice that fails to hit the mark.

EHCP and PIP

With a clear profile of your child’s needs you are in a stronger position to apply for meaningful support, whether through school plans, EHCPs, or disability benefits like PIP.

Improved Self-Esteem

When children understand how they think, know their strengths and difficulties, it improves their self esteem and they stop feeling like something is wrong with them.

Child Finally Understood

Your child is given the language to explain their difficulties to others and will finally feel like someone sees and understands them.

Understanding Behaviour

Getting to the root of the issues brings an understanding that your child is not displaying bad behaviour: they are behaving in response to their issues.

Why Choose Us?

picture of Dr Elizabeth Guest

Traditional workplace social skills training often falls short, because it is designed by people who have never personally struggled with social interaction. It’s like learning to swim from someone who has never feared the water.

At Aspiedent, we do things differently. Dr Elizabeth Guest brings both lived experience and academic expertise to the table. She understands the challenges employees with autism or ADHD face because she has faced them herself, and she knows how to break them down into achievable steps that benefit both the individual and the business.

  • Our lived experience and expertise. Dr Guest combines firsthand understanding with academic knowledge in mathematics, artificial intelligence, and linguistics, offering an approach that traditional training cannot compete with.

  • Our systems-based approach. We don’t just teach surface-level skills. We analyse cognitive differences as a system, improving workplace communication and collaboration in a structured, sustainable way.

  • The tangible benefits we bring to businesses. Our training helps employees and their teams:
    • Improve workplace interactions and teamwork
    • Deal with negotiations and meetings with confidence
