Our Autism and ADHD Assessment Service provides private screening assessments, comprehensive diagnostic assessments and detailed reports for adults, children and young people suspected of having autism, ADHD or another neurodiverse condition without being placed on a long waiting list. The recommendations we make offer practical strategies that provide a road map beyond a diagnosis.

Each assessment undertaken is led by a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist who works in line with National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for autism and ADHD and has undertaken additional specialist training to differentiate autism and ADHD from other neurodiverse conditions or potential mental health concerns to ensure a correct diagnosis or psychological formulation is made for each child and young person we assess.

We offer three distinct assessment options as part of our autism and ADHD service - all of which include a comprehensive report and clinical letter:

Neurodevelopmental Screening – This is a combined screening assessment for both autism and ADHD as there can be significant overlap between symptoms. A comprehensive full diagnostic assessment may be recommended following the screening for autism, ADHD or a combined assessment for both conditions and this would be discussed with you by the assessing clinician at the end of the appointment.

Basic Diagnostic Assessments – This is a standard diagnostic assessment for either autism or ADHD using “gold standard” assessment tools ensuring that the minimum clinical requirements for diagnosis as detailed within the NICE guidelines are met.

Enhanced Diagnostic Assessments – This is a diagnostic assessment for either autism or ADHD that uses “gold standard” assessment tools as recommended by NICE and includes additional psychometric assessments and a school-based assessment and observation for children to identify whether there are other co-occurring conditions present. This level of assessment is not typically offered amongst other private providers and has helped our patients to achieve a successful Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) to get their child additional support and funding if this is recommended.

We offer assessment appointments within 2-3 weeks of enquiries being made and these can be arranged using the contact page on our website at www.turnaroundpsychologicalservices.co.uk
