Aim of meeting:
This presentation will explore contemporary approaches to assessment from early childhood through to older adulthood, with a particular focus on challenging diagnostic presentations, differential diagnosis, evolving symptom expression across the lifespan, and the role of cognitive and functional assessment.

Learning outcomes:
- Identify changes in symptom presentation across the lifespan to support accurate differential diagnosis.
- Describe the role of cognitive and functional assessments in supporting diagnosis, treatment planning and NDIS functional evidence requirements.
