Our service works in partnership with the NHS to increase capacity and reduce waiting times for adult autism and ADHD assessments. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals deliver all assessments online so you can attend from the comfort of your own home or the setting in which you feel most comfortable.

We are currently working with Hampshire ICB delivering autism and ADHD assessments for adults on the waiting list. Our assessments process We have tried to make the process as straightforward and where possible, stress-free. All assessments are delivered online so you will need to have a device such as a computer, smartphone or tablet which connects to the internet to access our service. Once we receive your referral for an assessment, a member of our admin team will contact you using the telephone number, or email address provided to us on your referral to get you registered.

We are delighted to announce we also now offering Autism Assessments to adults via Right to Choose. If you are registered with a GP surgery in England and you are referred by a GP to a consultant or specialist in mental health, you have the legal right to choose the organisation (qualified provider) to whom you are referred, as long as that organisation is providing that service in another part of England.

As we have an NHS contract to provide adult ASD diagnosis services with an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in England, we fulfil the criteria to be a qualified provider under the NHS Right to Choose (RTC). As long as your GP feels a referral is appropriate and will make a referral to us, we are able to get your ASD assessment paid for by the NHS.

Find out more about RTC via the NHS website.
