🧩 Autism & ADHD Assessments for Children (Ages 5–12)🌱
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
The primary school years are a vital stage in a child’s development — a time of growing independence, emotional growth, social learning, and academic pressure. For some children, this is when neurodiverse differences like Autism or ADHD begin to stand out more clearly.
You might notice behaviours such as:
• High anxiety
• Meltdowns
• Difficulty with transitions
• Rigid thinking
• Struggles with friendships
• Emotional outbursts
• Low self-esteem
• Poor focus in class
These can often be misunderstood as defiance or bad behaviour — when in fact, they may signal undiagnosed Autism or ADHD.
🧠 Our Approach
At Therapeutic Support Services, we offer gold-standard diagnostic assessments for Autism and ADHD in children aged 5 to 12. Our process is developmentally sensitive, neuro-affirming, and designed to provide: clarity, direction, and reassurance.
We help families understand their child’s unique experience, strengths, and support needs — especially when things feel overwhelming or uncertain.
📚 Trusted, Evidence-Based Tools
Our assessments are grounded in robust clinical frameworks, guided by:
• NICE guidelines
• Royal College of Psychiatrists’ best practice
• NHS-recognised diagnostic tools
We use tools such as: ADOS-2, Conners 4, WISC-V UK, and SNAP-IV.
Our reports are widely accepted and can support:
• EHCP applications
• School accommodations
• Access to specialist services
🔍 What to Expect from the Assessment
Each assessment is individualised and may include:
• Pre-assessment consultation with parents/carers
• In-depth developmental history
• Teacher/SENCo input
• Structured observations and play-based tasks
• Parent interviews
• Multidisciplinary input (where needed)
We provide a comprehensive, well-rounded picture of your child.
💛 A Calm, Compassionate Experience
Our service is delivered through a therapeutic lens — meaning we work in a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and family-centred way.
We aim to:
• Create a safe, welcoming environment for children
• Help parents feel heard and supported
• Provide more than a diagnosis — we offer understanding and empowerment
🌟 The Benefits of Early Diagnosis
A clear diagnosis at this stage can:
• Prevent further emotional distress
• Reduce mislabelling
• Open access to educational and emotional support
• Strengthen relationships at home and school
• Encourage self-understanding and confidence
