We are a NHS Right to Choose Provider for Autism & ADHD Assessments
Assessment & Support
A clear, supportive assessment process
We understand that deciding to have an assessment can feel like a big step. Our aim is to make the process as straightforward, collaborative, and supportive as possible.
All of our assessments follow national guidelines and are completed by experienced assessors. Throughout the process, you'll have a dedicated Care Coordinator who will guide you through each stage and answer any questions you may have.
There are no tests to pass or fail. Whatever the outcome, our goal is to provide clarity, practical recommendations, and guidance on any support that may be helpful moving forward.

Ask your GP to complete a Right to Choose referral to our service.
Once we receive your referral, we'll review the information provided and confirm whether we can accept the referral under the NHS Right to Choose pathway.
Please note that waiting times may vary depending on local Integrated Care Board (ICB) funding arrangements and referral volumes.

Step 2: Getting to Know You
We'll ask you to complete questionnaires and provide additional information to help us understand your experiences and support needs.
Depending on age and circumstances, we may also request information from parents, carers, schools, colleges, partners, or other professionals.

Step 3: Assessment & Diagnosis
You'll meet with our clinical team for your assessment either in-person or online.

Your developmental history
Attention, concentration, activity levels, and impulsivity
Strengths, challenges, and support needs
