Autism and ADHD often co-exist, so many of our clients opt to have both considered simultaneously. This means that a more detailed neurodevelopmental assessment is possible, giving greater clarity to you and your child as to the nature of their needs. These assessments are provided by our experienced clinicians who understand how autism and ADHD can present together, along with the unique strengths and challenges that this can bring.

Our assessment approach keeps your child and you at the centre of what we do. Information from school, or other third parties, such as club leaders, is gathered so that we can fully understand your child’s strengths and needs. We know that many children are able to ‘mask’ their challenges at school, so be assured that our clinicians are all additionally trained in understanding a more ‘subtle autistic presentation’ that is often the case for so many of our clients.

All our assessments are client and family-led, so we keep you at the centre of the assessment. School, or third party information is gathered for every assessment, as well as specific screening measures. We understand that many young people may present with a more subtle ADHD presentation, or be predominantly inattentive, but all our clinicians have had additional training to understand your child fully.
