Autism and Diagnostic Assessments

The NAAC provides a private comprehensive needs-led autism diagnostic service. The Autism Diagnostic Assessment service provides bespoke person-centred and positive support throughout the process.

Autism and Neurodiversity Screening Assessment

The NAAC provides specialist neurodevelopmental screening with recommendations to your GP for further assessment and signposting to resources for help and support. We are also able to undertake observations in nurseries, schools and colleges and provide a report with our recommendations for support.

Neurodiversity Insight – Pre-Diagnostic Screening Across England

Wondering if your child is neurodiverse and not sure where to go next?

If you feel your child is presenting differently at school and you may suspect ADHD or autism and feel unsure what to do next, you’re not alone. Waiting lists are long, private assessments can be expensive, and it’s hard to know where to start.  That’s why we created Neurodiversity Insight — a trusted pre-diagnostic neurodiverse screening and guidance service for families and individuals across England.

Structured Screening Tools

We use gold-standard questionnaires like the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scales (VADRS) AQ-10, Dyslexia Checklists and SDQ to explore neurodiverse presentations in children, teens, or adults.

What You’ll Get

1:1 Consultation

You will be able to talk to a neurodiverse specialist who listens. We guide you through your history, concerns, and goals in a safe, non-judgmental setting.

Summary Report

You’ll receive a clear written report outlining patterns, concerns, and recommended next steps — useful for schools, GPs, or EHCP planning.

Follow-Up Advice

We help you understand your report and what to do next — from GP referrals to school support or pursuing a full diagnostic assessment.

Attend a meeting with the SENCO and parent and advise with implementation of recommendations

Attend a 1 hour meeting with the SENCO and parent to discuss and agree implementation of recommendations.

Advise in Transition plans in school 

Offer 1 hour training to support wider school understanding of child’s neurodiverse presentation and support plan.

Is the screening a diagnosis?

No — and that’s the point.

This is a screening and support service, ideal for those unsure if they want or need a full diagnosis. It’s designed to inform, not to label and to facilitate appropriate reasonable adjustments in school or education that supports effective learning, inclusion and positive identity formation. 

Who Is the Neurodiversity Insight screening For?

• Families on long NHS waiting lists

• Parents exploring autism for the first time

• Adults wondering about autism later in life

• Schools seeking structured evidence for SEN support
