FOR CHILDREN

In-Person Combined Child Autism & ADHD Assessment

An in-person, multidisciplinary team  assessment (MDT) for children and young people aged 6–17 where there are concerns about both autism and ADHD. Held at our clinic in central London, this pathway brings together our autism and ADHD expertise into one integrated process, rather than putting your child through two completely separate assessments.

We offer weekday and Saturday appointments, which can make it easier to attend without your child needing to miss school.

This is a two-part multi disciplinary assessment that combines:

  • A 90 minute in-person combined ADHD and ADOS-2 (Autism) session at our clinic with you and your child, led by our Neurodiversity Specialist.
  • A separate 30-minute online ADI-R–informed developmental interview with the parent/carer only, led by our Chartered Psychologist.

Using more than one clinician and combining direct observation (ADOS-2), parent/carer interview (ADI-R framework) and questionnaires reflects best practice NICE compliant pathways for autism assessments and accepted by the NHS

Our Neurodiversity Specialist (who also works in the NHS) will conduct the in-person assessment with your child and yourself. We will also require feedback from your child’s school. If your child is diagnosed and medication is recommended, our Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist will then take over the process of medical treatment. Once medication is optimised our psychiatrist will then send a Shared Care agreement request to your GP, to take over your prescriptions from the NHS. This type of multi disciplinary assessment is fully recognised by the NHS and compliant to NICE guidelines, and can support an application for EHCP (Education Healthcare Plan).

To schedule your child’s in-person Autism assessment, please select a suitable date and time, then follow the instructions to complete your payment. Flexible payment options (including Klarna) are available.

Please Note: We do not accept insurance payments for this type of appointment.
