Our Services
We provide a comprehensive autism assessment and diagnosis for children, young people and adults throughout Aberdeen city and Aberdeenshire. Find out more about our services below.
Children and young people
Full Cost £650
The assessment involves an initial cost-free telephone screening appointment with parents, followed by a home visit for a detailed developmental history using the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R) framework. A subsequent home visit will be arranged to administer an Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and, if necessary, a nursery or primary school observation will be scheduled. The results of the autism assessment will be detailed in a comprehensive report, discussed fully, with the opportunity to amend. We can also provide copies to GP/school doctor. Our assessment will be accepted by CAMHS.
Adults

In addition, an ADOS will also be administered by home visit. The results of the autism assessment will be detailed in a comprehensive report and discussed fully with personalised amendments if required. Copies can be provided for GP or other parties on request.
