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.

SEND services in London

London is served by 32 borough councils, each with their own SEND provision and Local Offer. The quality and availability of services varies significantly between boroughs — some have well-funded SEND teams while others have faced significant cuts. Families in London often benefit from a wide choice of private practitioners, though costs tend to be higher than other parts of the UK.

Typical costs

Private autism assessments typically cost between £1,500 and £3,000. ADHD assessments range from £800 to £2,000. Dyslexia assessments are generally £400 to £800. These are significant costs, but many families find the investment worthwhile for the clarity and access to support a diagnosis provides. Some assessment services offer payment plans.
