Do I need an Autism Assessment Straight Away?
No! If you are wondering about getting support for autism, ADHD, sensory processing, learning or communication needs, then we are ready to help you. We can support you to successfully help your child emotionally and psychologically. And you DO NOT need an assessment first.
Parents are often really disappointed when they cannot get access to an assessment straight away, because professionals or other people have told them that they NEED to have an assessment to get help for their child BUT... this is simply not true.
Parents usually KNOW what their child needs help with - emotional regulation, anxiety, concentration, completing tasks... Parents can join our community and access our team and parents can TELL us what they want for their child or young people. For example, less upsets and meltdowns, improved regulation or communication. With our pathway, families can access supports STRAIGHT AWAY on one of our therapeutic programmes, parent courses, or individually through child therapies, parent support sessions and more... We can also support your child's school or preschool, and provide guidance or letters to access supports in line with the Department of Education guidelines.
