child assessment.
positive, neuro-affirming nice guidance assessment.
what?
A calm, compassionate, and neuroaffirming assessment designed to help you truly understand your child. We explore how they experience and interact with the world; through communication, play, learning, sensory processing and social moments.
​
This is not about ticking boxes; it’s about building a clear, accurate picture of your child’s strengths, needs, and unique perspective.
​
All assessments are carried out by highly specialist neurodivergent professionals who have years of professional and lived experience.
how?
We follow NICE guidelines and use gold-standard tools such as elements of structured observations, the ADOS and MIGDAS alongside:
​
-
Pre-assessment questionnaires for home, school, and (where appropriate) the young person themselves
-
A child observation session tailored to their communication and comfort style
-
A parental developmental interview to explore early milestones, patterns, and context
-
A multi-disciplinary meeting to review findings and ensure a well-rounded understanding
-
A feedback session to walk through the results together
-
A full written report with clear findings, tailored recommendations, and signposting to further support
The process is gentle, child-led, and designed to help your child feel safe, seen, and understood
