Sydney Cognitive Development Centre

I was worried that I would be negatively perceived for coming into the centre with self diagnosed autism, but instead I felt very welcomed.

I was seen by Dr Shelley Hyman - I felt the assessment process was very thorough and I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. She was very validating and patient, and didn't rush me through the assessment whatsoever.

The centre was also kind enough to let me incrementally pay off my assessment in the lead up - this was an absolute lifesaver. I wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise. So happy to finally have the slip of paper giving me access to the supports I've always needed.

The team at SCDC have been kind, accommodating & professional.
They have helped our family to function more positively & healthily. I'm grateful to them for their personalised, flexible care.

After seeing so many different doctors and spending thousands of dollars I finally found a place that didn't treat me like a production line and listened when I said that I didn't want medication. This place has the most amazing ADHD adult therapy program and it has changed my whole life. Due to my bad experience with other doctors I have even been inspired to set up a website about adult ADHD so that people know what their options are (not allowed to post here so google me). If you are in Sydney this is a great option and I know that they offer therapy to people all around the world as when I was in England last year I continued with my therapy on Skype. I just want to put it out there that medication isn't the only answer and it made me feel so depressed. Don't give up!!!

I have a child with Asperger's style autism and ADHD. In chatting with a mum at my child's school one day they said their friend's child who was like mine had benefited from going to Sydney Cognitive Development Centre. Sydney Cognitive Development Centre changed our lives. After approximately six months of neurofeedback at Sydney Cognitive Development Centre my child was able to halve their Concerta dose used to manage their ADHD and halve their melatonin dose used to assist them to sleep. Everything else improved as well. Their sleep improved as did their behaviour. Their smile became more natural and their concentration and sense of humour improved also. I am truly grateful to Shelley and her team at Sydney Cognitive Development Centre as they have forever improved our lives.

Great place, good team, thorough. Very relieved to have found this centre in Sydney and well worth the travel!

Adam is very rude and unhelpful.
I’ve been playing phone tag with these people all day who don’t answer phones or reply to emails.
I made an enquiry weeks ago and have been told I was put on a wait list.
Finally get a standard reply outlining fees and the process, I followed the instructions in the email but clearly Adam hasn’t bothered reading this and instead starts asking me questions I’ve already answered.
This process is extremely stressful for anyone trying to understand what might be happening in the world.
Unprofessional.

Unprofessional services just cut service without notice and charge more then NDIS agreement. Not recommended at all. ! Event not provide a final report. Paying service for nothing.Name and shame!!
