Quick visit wins

  • 🧩 Give your kid a “wait job” (hold the map, spot exits, count steps). Waiting without purpose is meltdown fuel.
  • 👥 Crowd-proof it: aim for Weekday mornings (calmest window) and pre-book / pre-pay so you dodge the queue trap.
  • ✨ Use micro-breaks like a cheat code: 2 minutes outside/toilet/quiet corner can save the whole visit.

Tips.

If sound ramps up quickly, pack a small “sound buffer” and plan a short quiet break midway. Tiny decompressions can prevent bigger overload later.

Prepare before you goPractical supports

This is general information and not medical advice. If you're concerned about safety or health, check with your clinician.

Before you leave the house

  • Preview the plan in one minute: where you're going, what you'll do first, and how you'll leave.
  • Use a tiny visual plan (3 steps). Example: “arrive → do one thing → snack + go”.
  • Agree on a “done” signal (card/hand sign/word) so leaving isn't a debate mid-overload.

Support gear (no shame, all strategy)

  • Noise: headphones/ear defenders + a comfort sound or playlist.
  • Light: hat/sunnies/tinted lenses + a “face away from lights” seat plan.
  • Body: chewy/fidget + something heavy-worky (stretch band / push-the-wall game).
  • Fuel: safe snack + water (hangry looks like overload).

If overwhelm hits

  • Lower demands fast: fewer words, fewer questions, slower pace.
  • Move to your “exit spot” (outside / car / quiet corner). Safety beats finishing the activity.
  • Co-regulate: calm voice + simple choices (“outside or bathroom?”).
  • After: recovery time counts. No post-mortem in the moment. Debrief later if needed.

Quick trigger check (for this space)

  • Most likely load points here: crowds.
  • Plan the first 10 minutes to be low-demand: arrive, orient, pick a safe base, then decide.
Plan for this spaceArrival → base → exit

A quick, trigger-aware plan built from the scorecard + what this place is like.

Here's your MTWM game plan for Neuro Assess Hub – Psychologist South Yarra | ADHD & ASD Assessment.

Timing tip: Weekday mornings (calmest window)

Crowds and queues can spike fast. Keep an exit lane in your head.

Sound can build. Have a volume-break option (outside / toilet / car).

Lighting can be mixed. Bring hat or sunnies just in case.

First 10 minutes: do a quick lap, pick a “home base”, and keep demands low (orientation beats achievement).

Accessibility: wheelchair entrance isn't confirmed on Google. If this matters for your family, a quick call/message is safest.
