These notes are to help Level 2 Test Users (formerly known as Level A and Level B testing qualifications) working in an occupational, educational or forensic context who need to test someone who presents as having a neurominority condition, such as ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, dyslexia, dyspraxia or similar.
They do not relate to the use of tests to diagnose neurominorities; such testing must be carried out by a specialist.
The advice given here concerns dealing with a report of neurominority diagnosis or presentation, particularly in selection situations where it is especially
important that all candidates are treated fairly or in a context where general advice is being provided to others on working effectively with such individuals.
