Our Assessment Process

What Happens in a Private Autism Assessment?

Our autism assessments are designed to be comprehensive and considerate of each individual’s needs. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation

Chinwe Osuchukwu will conduct a detailed consultation to gather information about developmental history, behaviours, and challenges.

Observations

Observations of behaviour, communication, and social interactions are carried out in a clinical setting or the individual’s natural environment.

Communication

Assessment of speech, language skills, and social interactions to identify any communication issues. 

Treatment and Support

Behavioural Therapy

Behavioural therapy is essential for managing autism symptoms. It helps individuals develop coping strategies, improve organisational skills, and control impulsive behaviours.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Parent Training
  • Social Skills Training
  • Anger Management

Educational Support

We collaborate with schools to create Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) or 504 Plans, ensuring that children receive the accommodations and support they need. Classroom modifications and parent-teacher training are also provided to enhance understanding and support.

Medication and Psychological Support

While there are no medications to treat the core symptoms of autism, medication interventions can help manage associated behaviours such as self-harm or high energy levels. Additionally, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is available to address mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

How Much Is a Private Autism Diagnosis?

To book an autism assessment, the cost starts from £495, including VAT. There is an upfront fee of £99, with the remainder payable upon appointment completion. This fee structure applies to both children and adults seeking a diagnosis.

The Importance of Autism Diagnosis

A formal diagnosis of autism is crucial for accessing the necessary support and resources. It provides clarity and direction, helping individuals and families to make informed decisions about education, healthcare, and overall well-being.
