Type of service: Assessment, Diagnostic services

Website: http://www.claritypsychology.com

 We provide high quality autism assessments for children, young people and adults using ‘gold standard’ tools (e.g., ADI, 3di, ADOS 2). All of our assessments are compliant with NICE guidelines, which propose multiple recommendations regarding high quality assessments, including the use of a multidisciplinary team, observations across different settings & consideration of differential diagnosis. During a free consultation with a Clinical Psychologist, we will speak to you about your requirements and if appropriate consider differential diagnosis with you. It is possible that further assessment is not indicated. However, if assessment is required then we will develop an assessment plan with you. Assessments can include taking a detailed developmental history, gathering information from school, an observation within school, a cognitive assessment, Speech and Language Therapy assessment and the ADOS-2. We can start the assessment within 2-4 weeks of your first contact with us and will guide you through every step of the process. The exact cost of the assessment will depend on which components are required to reach a conclusion in relation to diagnosis. This will be discussed with you following the initial consultation.
