• The  assessor will act with professionalism during the assessment with due care to the assessee‘s comfort and needs.
• The  assessee is required to behave in a manner conducive to determining an      accurate diagnosis. Where co-occurring needs mean that extra accommodations may be needed, this should be discussed with the assessor prior to assessment.
