The staff at the Centre are fully experienced with clients of all ages from early childhood, through adolescence, adult life and old age. They are equally experienced in all ranges of abilities from severe learning disorders to very high IQs. One special area of expertise concerns the problems that arise when an autism spectrum disorder is associated with one or more other developmental and/or psychiatric disorders. These combinations of diagnosis are often misinterpreted and cause great distress to the family.
The staff are dedicated to supporting and helping to develop diagnostic services for children, and most especially for adults, country-wide by working in partnership with statutory organisations. Although there are now recommended recognised pathways and documentation for the diagnosis and assessment for children, there is yet to be a pathway for the diagnosis and assessment of adults.
In addition to the permanent staff, consultants experienced in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders, and who have many years of relevant experience, offer sessions in both the clinical work and the training.
