I complete Autism and ADHD assessment for young people between the ages of 6 to 21 years. I complete my autism assessments with a colleague, who is a Speech and Language Therapist. We use The Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) and The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). For ADHD assessments, I use The ADHD Child Evaluation [ACE] or The ACE+ and the QbCheck. I currently complete autism assessments for the National Autistic Society as well as working independently. 

I offer a screening process for families who are unsure if their child needs an assessment, or they would like support to identity which type of assessment might be needed. I do an initial phone call to discuss the assessment process and ensure I am the right person to support you. 

All assessments are compliant with the NICE guidelines. A full assessment report, including recommendations, will be provided at the feedback session. Recommendations are made regardless of whether a diagnosis is given.
