The assessment process

What’s the assessment process?

1. Initial Assessment

Before booking an Initial Assessment, we ask to have a brief screening call with you. During this call, you will speak with one of our experienced Clinical Administrators or an Assistant Psychologist.

We will ask for some information about your child’s medical history, as well as any current difficulties or concerns. Any individual with parental responsibility can arrange the call to determine whether The Gesher Assessment Centre is the right place to further explore their child’s needs.

Following the screening call, we will confirm whether an Initial Assessment is appropriate, and you will be sent a link to book an appointment for the Initial Assessment.

2. Assessment and feedback

We will meet you for a face-to-face session at our centre in Pinner, North London or at Centennial Medical Centre in Elstree. Two clinicians will be available to spend time with both parents/caregivers and the child/young person.

Our experts will meet after the face-to-face session to discuss their findings. We aim to have a feedback session with you on the same day, or within one weeks’ time, to share the outcome of the assessment.

3. Report

We’ll follow up the session with a full report. These are generally available within three weeks, depending on the complexity of the assesment.
