Our diagnostic assessment services.
We complete assessments identifying neurodivergence using ‘gold standard’ diagnostic tools in line with guidelines from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE). This is important as it ensures that our assessments are of the highest quality and are robust against scrutiny, meaning that they are accepted by important organisations and services like GPs, schools and mental health services.
We understand that it is not always easy for individuals (particularly children) to attend assessments and engage with clinicians they do not know. We will think carefully with you about how we and you can best navigate this before the appointment if required.
Autism Assessment
We offer high quality autism assessments for children, young people and adults that comply with NICE guidance and take a neuro-affirmative stance to promoting the strengths and unique opportunities for autistic people. Every autism assessment is conducted by two qualified clinicians who specialise in working with Autistic people and our reports are extremely detailed and comprehensive. The diagnostic tools used in our Autism assessments include the ADI-R (in-depth Autism parental interview) and ADOS-2 (in person assessment), which are both gold standard tools recommended by NICE.
ADHD Assessment
An ADHD assessment can be extremely helpful in understanding an individual’s strengths and difficulties relating to aspects of hyperactivity, impulsivity and holding attention. As a child at school or an adult at work, having strategies and the right support can make a huge difference to your quality of life. Our ADHD assessments offer specialist knowledge and recommendations and follow NICE guidelines. The diagnostic tools used in our ADHD assessments include the DIVA-5 and ACE, which both allow an in depth and comprehensive assessment of any potential ADHD symptoms.
Learning Assessment
Our Learning Assessments (also called cognitive assessments) provide a comprehensive understanding of cognitive processes, adaptive skills, and potential learning difficulties. These can be carried out as a standalone or as part of an Autism or ADHD assessment. Having a better idea of someone’s strengths and weaknesses allows us to provide recommendations for support, learning and work. Our learning assessments include either the WISC-V or the WAIS-IV, which are comprehensive assessments of cognitive abilities across domains such as verbal comprehension, visual-spatial, fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed.
Speech and Language Assessment
We work with highly experienced Speech and Language Therapists who can assess for the presence of any speech, language or communication needs. These comprehensive assessments can be as a standalone or as part of a neurodevelopmental (Autism or ADHD) assessment. If any speech disorders are identified then these can be diagnosed and appropriate support and intervention offered or onward referrals completed.
