Lira Clinical Protocol
A clinically grounded, end-to-end assessment protocol designed for neurodivergent women.
The Lira Clinical Protocol supports efficient evaluation by structuring clinical information, organising data aligned with DSM-5-TR, highlighting patterns to support clinical interpretation, and assisting report drafting.
Lira supports clinical reasoning but does not provide diagnoses or replace clinical judgment.
The challenge in current neurodivergent assessments
Neurodivergent women are frequently underserved by gender-biased assessment frameworks and limited visibility of internalised symptoms.
For clinicians, comprehensive assessments are time-intensive, cognitively demanding, and often rely on fragmented or retrospective information.
Limited visibility into daily functioning between sessions makes it difficult to fully understand masking, energy regulation, and real-world capacity. This increases clinical workload while limiting accessibility of care.
The Lira Clinical Protocol
The Lira Clinical Protocol is a streamlined, end-to-end assessment workflow designed to support clinicians in delivering efficient, gender-sensitive neurodivergent evaluations.
- Structured clinical framework informed by neuropsychological practice
- Covers intake, questionnaires, clinical sessions, scoring, and reporting
- Designed for autism, ADHD, and AuDHD presentations in women
- Organises information aligned with DSM-5-TR criteria and structures clinical reports
- Reduces clinician workload by streamlining assessment and reporting structure, without compromising clinical depth or individual complexity
- Supports both specialists and clinicians upskilling in neurodivergent assessment
- Improves consistency, efficiency, and clinical confidence
How it works
Structured intake and questionnaires gather comprehensive background information
Clinician-led assessment sessions follow the protocol framework
Automated scoring organises data aligned with DSM-5-TR criteria and highlights patterns
Clinicians are supported with structured report frameworks to assist clinical interpretation, documentation, and referral decisions.
Beyond assessment: ongoing support with Lira
For clinicians interested in supporting patients beyond the assessment process, Lira is developing ways to optionally access longitudinal insights from patients who use the Lira app.
This supports follow-up care by revealing patterns in daily energy, emotions, and functioning over time, helping clinicians understand masking, energy regulation, and the impact of interventions in real-world contexts.
This ecosystem integration is optional and additive. The Clinical Protocol functions independently and does not require app usage for evaluation.
Who this protocol is for
- Psychologists (specialised or non-specialised in neurodivergent assessment)
- Neuropsychologists
- Psychiatrists
- Clinics working with adult or female neurodivergence
The protocol can be used both by clinicians specialised in neurodivergent assessment who wish to improve structure and consistency, and by clinicians who are not specialists but want to conduct a responsible, clinically grounded evaluation before deciding on referral or next steps.
Clinical grounding
The Lira Clinical Protocol is developed and applied in real clinical practice.
It is led by experienced neuropsychologists with clinical expertise in neurodivergence in women, and is currently used in structured clinical evaluation processes.
Initial applications have shown that the protocol can support consistent documentation while reducing administrative and cognitive burden for clinicians.
