Questions

How do I get it?

After you buy, you’ll get instant access to the PDF on the confirmation page and by email.

Can I print it?

Yes. The handouts and worksheets are ready to print, so you can print the whole guide or just the pages you need.

Does she need a diagnosis?

No. The guide is helpful whether a young person has a diagnosis, is still exploring, or would rather not use a label.

Is it a diagnosis or assessment tool?

No. There are no scores or labels. It’s general education and reflection to support understanding, and it doesn’t replace support from someone who knows the young person.

Can I share it with colleagues?

Each purchase is for one person’s use, so please don’t share the electronic copy. If your school or service would like to use it more widely, or in a group program, email hello@pocketpsych.com.au to ask about licensing.
