The Spectrum Clinic has been established to provide a person-centred approach to assess for Autism and ADHD without compromising on quality and reliability of our assessments. Our patients are at the centre of what we do and every assessment starts with hearing about their journey. We use the gold standard tools for our assessments and follow the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines when offering our services. This means that our assessments are evidence-based and that our clinicians adhere to the highest standards of practice set in the UK. We believe that everyone who suspects they might have Autism or ADHD has the right to high quality diagnostics and a quick turnaround of assessments and final reports.
We have a team of professionals from different disciplines to work in our clinic and all our assessments are led by Clinical Psychologists. Our clinicians are qualified to use the specific assessment tools and have many years of experience working with the neurodiverse population. All of them have previously worked for the NHS and are passionate about Autism and ADHD. We welcome neurodiverse clinicians in our team and value their precious input and contribution.
Our service is founded on the principles of person-centred, high-quality, evidence-based and compassionate care. Through the feasibility of remote assessments, we aim to give people a choice to select the time and place of their preference. Our Autism Assessment and ADHD Assessment sessions can be booked directly with one of our friendly secretaries over the telephone between 8:30 am – 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday and 9:00 am – 2:00 pm on Saturday. Whereas, our clinicians work 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Saturday, and occasionally Sundays. Alternatively, you can book via email or by filling our contact form.
Our aim is to empower our patients and their families by sharing our knowledge and experience of working with neurodevelopmental conditions. We offer online groups and self-help programmes to support people with:
• Understanding their diagnosis (strengths and difficulties)
• Improve communication and social skills
• Understand and manage their emotions
• Understand and manage behaviour (for parents/caregivers)
• Working with Sensory Profiles
• Improve Executive Functions
