We will communicate via email to answer any questions that you may have, send across standardised screening questionnaires to determine if booking in an learning difficulty assessment may be the right route for you, and to arrange the booking.
After booking in your date, we will send you some paperwork to complete on background history, a full developmental history, as well as assessment questionnaires to fill in ahead of the first meeting.
On the day of the assessment, our Clinical Psychologist will be waiting for you at the clinic and will carry out a comprehensive 1.5-2 hour cognitive assessment, including an interview with parents/carers for child assessments or with you and your informant if it is an adult assessment.
Our Clinical Psychologist will then collate all information from the screening paperwork, the parent/carer/informant interviews, and the cognitive assessment scores.
A feedback meeting will be arranged by telephone call with you to share the results of the assessment and discuss strategies and recommendations for next steps. This will be arranged within 7 days of the assessment date.
A formal report will then be sent up to 7 days after the feedback meeting. This will include the diagnostic outcome, strategies, next steps, and recommendations. For child assessments this will include recommendations for home and school, and for adult assessments this will include recommendations for education/workplace and for personal use.
We offer further consultation sessions if required, to offer ongoing support around understanding the diagnosis.
We also offer psychological therapy interventions for those who may wish to process their diagnosis or for those who also have mental health concerns.
We can meet face to face in the clinic based in Warley, Brentwood, Essex.
Assessment and therapy sessions for adults can be conducted face to face or virtually through video call. Adolescent Autism assessments may be considered virtually in certain circumstances. ADHD assessment (adult and child) would always be required to be face to face. Feedback sessions post assessment will be conducted by telephone.
We are an adult and child service that supports people aged 8 years and above. We can accept referrals from anywhere in the UK, and the clinic is based in Brentwood, Essex.
