Initial Assessment
We provide all clients with a thorough Initial Assessment lasting up to 1.5 hours, during which you and your child will have a meeting with a member of our Clinical Team.
What happens at the Initial Assessment?
During the Initial Assessment, we will work with you to determine whether a full diagnostic assessment is necessary, which specific assessment is recommended, and the next steps in the process. We will guide and support you every step of the way.
Key Benefits of the Initial Assessment:
Meet our expert team and have an in-depth discussion with our Clinical Team before committing to a full assessment.
Receive personalised guidance on the right assessment for your child, including recommendations for additional assessments (e.g. cognitive testing, dyspraxia).
Benefit from a streamlined process as we’ll help in gathering the essential information quickly, so you’re ready for a full diagnostic assessment if necessary.
Tailored planning to discuss the full diagnostic assessment with us, agree on necessary adjustments (e.g. preference on assessment location, any additional screening questionnaires to include), and address any questions or concerns.
Ease any anxiety by preparing for the assessment process in a supportive, reassuring environment.
Reassurance as our gold standard assessments follow guidelines set out by the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
The Initial Assessment costs £300, and this is payable at the time of booking. To book an Initial Assessment, please follow the link below for your preferred location:
