Start with what you want to understand.
We use established, standardized assessment instruments, interpreted by qualified clinicians.
Strengths & Support Needs
Understand how your child manages everyday life across communication, daily living and socialization, with other areas assessed where appropriate.
Autism
A clinician-led evaluation of your child's social communication, sensory responses and behaviour, so you get a clear answer on whether autism is indicated and what to do next.
ADHD
A structured assessment of attention, activity and impulse control for children aged 6 and up, drawing on parent and teacher input as well as time with your clinician.

Online does not mean a lesser test
We use established, standardized instruments that are designed to be completed through a clinician-led interview or structured rating forms. They work the same way on a video call as they do in a clinic.
Strengths & Support Needs
Vineland-3
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition
A widely used international measure of everyday skills across communication, daily living and socialization. Your psychologist completes it through a structured interview with you, so your child does not need to be on camera.
Autism
ISAA
Indian Scale for Assessment of Autism
An autism rating scale developed in India. Your psychologist completes it with you, and pairs it with their own observation of your child at play over video and a careful developmental history.
ADHD
Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scales
Widely used in paediatric practice, with a parent version and a teacher version, so your psychologist sees how your child is doing at home and at school.
INDT-ADHD
INCLEN Diagnostic Tool for ADHD
A structured ADHD interview developed and tested in India, completed by your psychologist with you.
- —A live psychologist, not an app. Every assessment is led by a qualified psychologist in a live video session. Nothing is an unsupervised online quiz, and no score decides anything on its own.
- —The same instruments, scored the same way. These are interview and rating-scale instruments. They are completed by asking and listening, so the questions and the scoring are the same whether you are in a clinic or at home.
- —Honest about the limits. If something cannot be judged well enough over video, your psychologist will tell you and recommend an in-person step rather than guess.
What online makes easier for your family
Less hassle for your family
No travel, no waiting rooms and no long trip to a clinic. You join from home, at a time you book.
Easier for your child
Many children are more at ease at home than in an unfamiliar clinic, which makes the session calmer for them and for you.
Seen in a familiar place
Your psychologist observes your child in their own space, with their own toys and routine, which can give a more natural picture of how they play and interact.
Available across India
You do not need to live near a specialist centre. With a stable internet connection and a quiet space, you can be assessed from wherever you are.
LEADERSHIP
Led by clinical rigor. Driven by parent empathy.
Meet the people behind every assessment at Brighters.

Here's exactly what you'll receive
A clear picture of your child's development
Your assessment brings together the information that matters most about your child — including their developmental history, caregiver concerns, assessment results and, where relevant, information from school or therapy.
Your clinician interprets these pieces together to give you a clear, balanced understanding of your child's strengths, areas that may need support and what the findings mean in everyday life.
Your report includes:
A clear clinical summary
What the assessment findings mean for your child, explained in straightforward language.
Strengths and areas for support
A balanced picture of what your child is doing well and where additional support may be helpful.
Relevant history and context
Developmental history, caregiver concerns and other relevant information are considered alongside the assessment findings.
Practical recommendations
Clear, individualised next steps for home, school and, where appropriate, therapy or other professional support.
The exact report structure and content will vary depending on the assessment your child receives.
More than a snapshot
A baseline you can build on
An assessment tells you where your child is today. But understanding your child's development is not just about a single point in time.
Your assessment creates a baseline that can help you understand how your child is doing now and, where appropriate, track meaningful changes over time.
If your child has a previous comparable assessment, your clinician can look at the findings together to understand what has changed. If this is your child's first assessment, it creates a starting point for future comparison.
Over time, this can help you ask an important question:
Is my child actually making progress — and are the things we're doing helping?
Where appropriate, future reassessments can help you understand changes in your child's everyday functioning and support needs, rather than relying only on therapy sessions completed, school attendance or individual goals achieved.

WHY TRUST US
Assessment you can trust
These are the five things every assessment is built on.
- 🎓
Qualified professionals
Assessments are administered and interpreted by appropriately qualified psychologists.
- 🔬
Established instruments
We use standardized, evidence-based assessment tools appropriate to the question being evaluated.
- 🧠
Clinician judgement matters
Scores never make decisions on their own. Your clinician considers your child's history, context and assessment findings together.
- ⚖️
Independent by design
Brighters does not provide therapy. Our only focus is assessment, so every recommendation is about what your child needs.
- 📈
Supporting progress over time
As your child grows and receives support, their strengths and needs may change. We recommend reassessment about once a year to track progress, understand how current therapies are working, and keep recommendations relevant.
