We are a senior multi-disciplinary group of experienced professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and accompanying conditions such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as their families and professionals working in this area.
We understand that it can be difficult and stressful when you or your child find yourselves struggling at home, at work, at school and among friends. Increased awareness of ASD and other conditions that so often occur with this such as ADHD, means that people are much better informed and the question of whether or not an individual’s difficulties are related to a neurodevelopmental condition or difference is more frequently asked by people who have learned about them through reading, watching TV or talking to friends and family. We strongly believe that understanding neurodevelopmental conditions is crucial in helping people move forward and receive the right help and support at home, in education, in employment and in the community, and getting the environment right for that person.
Making sure that we make accurate and timely diagnoses is the first step in making this happen, and we are proud of our thorough, client-centred and evidence-based approach which is fully accordant with NICE Guidelines. Following this, the diagnosis is shared with the appropriate people so that the right support and help can be put in place to get the environment right for the individual. This can include school professionals (teachers and teaching assistants), speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, specialist liaison teachers, educational psychologists and employers.
We accept referrals from families for children over three years of age and individuals themselves, schools, GPs, paediatricians, and other organisations. You do not need a referral from your GP. We can normally see you within two to three months of receiving your self-referral form, and can often complete assessments within 4 to 6 weeks of your first session, depending on your own availability.
Our services are fully transparent, ensuring that you know at all times what is involved in any assessment/intervention, and what information is being shared.
