Our autism assessments adhere to NICE guidelines (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and are recognised by NHS services and Local Education Authorities. The assessment process includes:

• Pre-assessment information gathering from parents or carers (including a review of relevant records).
• Involvement of two to three clinicians for a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including:
• Liaison with your child’s school or nursery.
• Completion of the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) by parents and school.
• Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).
• Autism Diagnostic Interview - Revised (ADI-R).
• A comprehensive written report detailing the diagnosis and actionable recommendations.
• A separate feedback session to discuss the results and the next steps.
