Type of service: Diagnostic services

Website: https://theevolvingmind.co.uk/

Our clinic opened at the end of 2023. We have a comprehensive MDT (SALT, EP, OT, Paediatricians, a CBT counsellor, and a MH and anxiety counsellor) onsite who meet once a week to discuss caseloads. We offer Autism, ADHD, and dual diagnostic assessments, as well as separate assessments for each of the different professions - all of which are in line with NICE Guidelines.

In addition to assessments we offer follow up therapy so that children and families have support post-diagnosis - even if they received a diagnosis elsewhere, families can still seek follow-up support with us. Finally, we also have two SEND advisors who can support parents through EHCNA processes.

We accept anyone who is willing to travel to us; our general catchment area is Berkshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, and West London.

Ages: 0 to 18 (not 3 to 18 as stated below).
 

Approaches and tools used: For ASD: ADOS & ADI-R. We also take a developmental history from parents and send forms to school for them to complete. For ADHD: SNAP and Connors. Also in-depth developmental history from parents. We have many other assessments that are used by the AHPs and EP outside of diagnostic assessments e.g. WISC, CELF, VMI etc.
