For Parents & Carers
You're worried about your child's development, behaviour, or learning — and you're not sure where to start. That's exactly why this page exists. We'll walk you through what we do, which assessment might fit, what it costs, and how the journey works from first enquiry to ongoing support.
This is the most common question we hear. If you're not sure whether your child needs an ADHD assessment, an Autism assessment, something else, or nothing at all, we offer a 30-minute initial call. It's a no-pressure conversation to help you decide the right next step — including whether an assessment is needed at all.
What we can assess
Our assessments follow relevant NICE guidance and reports can be shared with schools, GPs, NHS services and local authorities to inform support planning and, where appropriate, EHCP applications.

Learn MoreAutism (ASD) Assessment
