Private ADHD & Autism Assessment for Children
NeuroPath Services Ltd provides clinician-led private ADHD, autism and combined assessments for children and young people aged 6 to 18. Appointments are online, with parents and carers involved and participation adapted to your child's needs.
We only recommend a full assessment where screening information and clinical review indicate it is appropriate. Screening does not provide a diagnosis, and proceeding to assessment does not guarantee one. Diagnostic criteria may not be met, or another explanation may better account for the difficulties.
The clinical team considers your child's age, developmental and language level, communication needs and relevant family and school context.

Understanding your child's needs
Seeking an assessment for your child can feel daunting. We explain what to expect and the information needed. As part of the neurodevelopmental assessment, clinicians consider mental health, emotional wellbeing, current mental state, risk, safeguarding and other possible explanations for difficulties. These are part of understanding your child, not separate mental health services.
After a full assessment, you receive an online feedback appointment, a written report and personalised recommendations whether or not a diagnosis is made. You receive your own report and can choose who to share it with, including your GP, school or other professionals, to help explain your child's needs and discuss support.
A diagnosis does not automatically secure educational provision, support or treatment. Medication prescribing and titration are not included in the assessment fee.
