Individual Assessments
We do offer individual assessments for Autism. These entail:

Taking a detailed developmental history all about your child observing your child at home and at school or in nursery liaising with other professionals who know your child well e.g. their teacher, with your permission completion of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) if appropriate production of a comprehensive report containing our clinical opinion and diagnosis if appropriate.

Assessments are charged at £1,700. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our email address and a clinician will respond to you.

Behavioural and Speech and Language Support
Capacity to offer ongoing individual support to parents is currently limited but there may be opportunity for families to access some behavioural and speech and language consultation. This will be charged at an hourly rate of £100. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our email address and a clinician will respond to you.
