Birmingham Autism Assessments
The world is a tricky place for autistic children, teenagers, and adults. Some may require extra assistance. Unfortunately, autism presents differently from one individual to another, and the signs or symptoms are not always obvious. So, how do you know that your loved one has autism? Inner Circle Psychology offers professional autism assessments in Birmingham. Schedule a consultation today.
Private Autism Assessments in Birmingham
If you think your child or teenager may be autistic, it’s recommended to get a professional assessment from a professional. At Inner Circle Psychology, we provide private autism assessments for children and teenagers in Birmingham and the entire West Midlands. We aim to help you get clear answers on time and ensure your teenager or child has the professional support they need.
All our autism assessments in Birmingham begin with a professional consultation where we listen to your concerns related to your child’s behaviours or other signs that may be linked to autism. We’ll also have the chance to learn more about your child’s development. Every child is different, so we take time to understand what’s really going on, not just what meets the eye.
The ‘gold-standard’ approach to autism assessment is a multi-disciplinary approach. That’s why our team comprises different experts, including child psychologists, speech and language therapists, certified clinical psychologists, and other specialists. During the actual assessment, we use evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2 and interviews with you and, if helpful, your child’s teachers.
Our autism assessments follow professional guidelines (outlined by NICE) and are carried out by qualified professionals with specific experience in autism diagnosis. We take a multi-disciplinary approach, which means your child’s case is reviewed by both psychologists and, where appropriate, speech and language therapists. There are times we consult other specialists to ensure proper interpretation of your assessment report.
Once the assessment is complete, we provide a clear, detailed written report. If an autism diagnosis is given, this report can be used to access professional support through school or the NHS. We also offer a follow-up meeting to walk you through the results, answer your questions, and help you understand what to do next.
If you’re looking for answers now and don’t want to wait months for help, we’re here. We offer autism assessments in Birmingham with short wait times and a team that puts your child first. One thing that makes us unique is that that every autism assessment we perform is evidence-based and approved by the UK’s National Institute for Health & Care Excellence.
The child psychologists and speech therapists in our team have a valid HCPC registration and they are members of the ACP (Association of Clinical Psychologists), British Psychological Society (BPS) and BABCP. Therefore, your child or any other loved one will be assessed by experienced and objective professionals.
At Inner Circle Psychology, we aim to meet the highest standards of autism assessments in Birmingham and prioritize excellent care for our patients. If you need help to assess whether your child or someone you care about is autistic, contact us today.
