About Gesher autism and ADHD assessment centre
The Gesher Assessment Centre was founded in 2023 and offers bespoke multi-disciplinary diagnostic assessments for children, adolescents and young people up to the age of 25 who may have autism and/or ADHD and other related conditions such as dyspraxia.
Our autism and ADHD assessments
Our assessment process follows the NICE guidelines. An assessment will include a parent interview (3di5/ADI-R) and child facing (ADOS-2) session. During these sessions additional assessments (e.g. psychological, sensory, functional, and communication based) may be selected to explore the key factors in each case to have a holistic view of the child/young person.
Our clinicians have a wide range of experience working with and range of different ages in the NHS and private sectors. They have a passion and special interest in the fields of neurodiversity and autism. In addition to this they are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), have been DBS checked and have had safeguarding training.
Our connection
to Gesher school
The Gesher Assessment Centre and Gesher School have been set up by the same founding team, which includes parents of children with different educational needs. Our connection means we can listen and respond to the experiences and needs of our parents, caregivers, children and young people. We know about the stress and anxiety around the long wait for assessment and then a diagnosis. We know that timely support makes a huge difference to everyone’s experience.
Having an assessment at the Gesher Assessment Centre does not in any way increase your child’s chance of being offered a place at Gesher School. Similarly, if your child attends Gesher School you will need to follow the same process as others to book a triage call and to start the diagnostic assessment journey with the Gesher Assessment Centre.
Should you wish to apply to Gesher School, your application will be dealt with through a completely separate process which you can find on the Gesher School website.
