You're worried about your child's development, behaviour, or learning — and you're not sure where to start. That's exactly why this page exists. We'll walk you through what we do, which assessment might fit, what it costs, and how the journey works from first enquiry to ongoing support.
This is the most common question we hear. If you're not sure whether your child needs an ADHD assessment, an Autism assessment, something else, or nothing at all, we offer a 30-minute initial telehealth screening call (£190). It's a no-pressure conversation to help you decide the right next step — including whether an assessment is needed at all.
Every assessment includes a comprehensive written report, accepted by NHS, schools, and local authorities for EHCP applications.
