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.

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.
