All brains are different – each with a myriad of strengths and difficulties. We are uniquely skilled to assess, diagnose, and understand strengths and difficulties for the 1 in 5 children and adults living with
neurodevelopmental conditions:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism
Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
Developmental Language Disorder
Dyscalculia
Dyslexia
Dysgraphia
Sensory Processing Disorder
Tourettes Syndrome We offer full diagnostic assessments for: ADHD, Autism, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Tourette’s Syndrome. All assessments are completed to the highest standard and involve the expertise of the appropriate healthcare professionals from the multidisciplinary team. This is always in accordance with the respective clinical guidance, making our services safe; ensuring the right understanding is reached at the end; most appropriate support and treatment provided; maximising wellbeing for all those involved. When somebody is undergoing a full assessment in the specialist neurodevelopmental clinic, it might include some, or all the following:
Each assessment journey starts with an initial consultation session, lasting up-to 90 minutes and providing a space for you to share your concerns with a senior specialist in neurodevelopment.

One of the most important parts of our work together occur during the feedback stage. We are passionate in how we communicate the findings at the end of an assessment, and always careful to ensure people leave our service with an understanding of all they are good at; what makes life possible; and how with support,

A clinical report will detail the assessment that we were commissioned to undertake, and it often spans at least 25 pages. It is always personalised; strictly adheres to the clinical guidelines; and important for current and future care needs. When this has been verified as factually accurate, it can then be disseminated to an agreed circulation list, to

It is a highly specialist, systematic examination, of brain-behaviour relationships concerning an individual undergoing assessment. It allows for a comprehensive exploration of a range of brain strengths and difficulties, with most assessments exploring expressive and receptive language, visual-spatial processing, immediate, short and long-term memory, the speed at which an individual processes information, and how they use skills needed for high-order functioning (frontal brain skills often referred to as executive functions). Many of the tasks are completed using iPads, along with paper-and-pencil tasks, and the detailed outcome from the assessment provides a plan of support useful for the educational environment, workplace, and all other aspects of an individual’s life.
The session will be carried out by advanced occupational therapist highly specialised in sensory processing. The assessment involves the specialist clinician completing validated measures with the person undergoing assessment and an informant (when possible), capturing pertinent observations during the session, and testing out neurological assumptions regarding the function of the sensory system. It will help understand how somebody modulates and distinguishes visual, gustatory, tactile, auditory, olfactory, vestibular, proprioceptive, and interoceptive stimuli in the brain. This allows specific recommendations and interventions to be formulated in order to improve how somebody functions across environments of their life.
It is a computer-based test that objectively measures the three core clusters of characteristics seen under the diagnostic criteria for ADHD: activity, inattention, and impulsivity. It allows test findings to be compared to people of a similar age and gender; those who have difficulties regulating attention and those who do not. It lasts no longer than 20 minutes and forms a useful part of a detailed ADHD assessment. It can also be used to assess an individual’s response to treatment and support.
