About paediatric assessments
Private paediatric assessments provide diagnostic evaluations for conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and developmental delays. For many families, the main reason to go private is speed — NHS diagnostic pathways can involve waits of 2 to 4 years in some areas, and a diagnosis is often needed to unlock the right support.
If you suspect your child may be autistic, have ADHD, or have a specific learning difficulty, and the NHS waiting list is unacceptably long, a private assessment can provide answers much sooner. A formal diagnosis can be essential for accessing the right school support, applying for an EHCP, claiming Disability Living Allowance, and simply understanding your child better.
