Our private autism assessment pathway
1. Initial triage
Your journey begins with a 40-minute video call with a specialist psychologist. This gives us the opportunity to understand your concerns and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
2. Pre-assessment forms
We then send out the relevant forms and background questionnaires so we can build a fuller picture before the assessment takes place.
3. Full assessment
We offer autism assessments for both adults and children. Depending on your needs and location, appointments may take place in person at our Sheffield practice or online.
4. Diagnostic report and feedback
Following assessment, we prepare a detailed report with diagnostic findings, clinical insight and recommendations.
5. Follow-up support
Where needed, we can also provide follow-up appointments and discuss the most appropriate next steps after assessment.
Private autism assessments for adults and children
At Montrose, we offer separate pathways for adult autism and child autism assessments.
Adult autism assessments
Our adult pathway is designed for people who want to understand themselves more clearly.
A private adult autism assessment can help you make sense of your experience and better understand what support, structure or adjustments may help you moving forward.
Child autism assessments
We also support parents who are concerned about their child.
Our child pathway involves more detailed background gathering, including information from parents, carers and school where appropriate, so we can build the clearest possible picture.
