Why book a private autism assessment for your child?

What to expect at an autism assessment for children?

Our structured, multi-step process makes sure that every child receives a customised and sensitive evaluation:

Additional background information

Additional details may be gathered from family members or partners to gain a complete understanding of your symptoms.

Clinical interview

A 1:1 structured diagnostic interview with a qualified psychologist trained in child autism presentation. Input from teachers or other caregivers may also be included if appropriate.

Diagnostic evaluation

A post-interview evaluation using gold-standard tools such as the ADOS-2 or 3Di, depending on your child’s age and needs.

Diagnostic decision

A professionally written report that includes diagnostic outcomes (if applicable), your child’s strengths and challenges, and clear, practical recommendations for support at home and school. And, a follow-up conversation to review your results, ask questions, and explore next steps.

Online autism assessments for children

We understand that attending an in-person assessment may not suit every family. That’s why we offer both in-clinic and online child autism assessments (where clinically appropriate), allowing your child to complete the process in a comfortable environment.

I cannot recommend this Neuroaffinity enough! My 7-year-old nephew is autistic and has mild ADHD, and this clinic has been a blessing for him and his young parents family. From the very first visit, the staff was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took time to understand his unique needs and created a personalised plan that helped with communication, sensory regulation, social skills, focus, and emotional regulation helping him to build the skills he needed. The therapists were amazing with him, and they also gave our family practical strategies to use at home. we’ve seen major improvements in his ability to communicate, handle transitions, calm down, and connect with others. He’s happier, more confident, and making progress we are so grateful for. Thank you to all the staff for everything! Highly recommend Neuroaffinity to any parent or caregiver.

Shehzad has been incredibly helpful throughout my ADHD journey. He was friendly, professional, and always took the time to listen and answer any questions I had. His support has made a real difference, and I felt understood and comfortable from the start. I would highly recommend Shehzad to anyone looking for ADHD support and assessment.

Amman Ayub

I was really happy with the professionalism shown by Neuroaffinity, specifically Shehzad. As parents we are always nervous and apprehensive but Shehzad put us at ease and took his time to answer all our questions, and dealt with our child remarkably well. Thank you!

Woody Salt

I recently got my ADHD diagnosis and just at the end of my titration now. The team at Neuroaffinity has been fantastic, I was in somewhat of a rush as I had my a levels on this year and so I needed to have the diagnosis and initial titration appointment as soon as possible. They were great in facilitating this and beyond that in every area. Would certainly recommend their services!
