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.

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
