FAQ

What age can children have an autism assessment?

Children can be assessed when there are concerns around communication, social interaction, sensory processing or behavioural development. The assessment approach is tailored to the child’s age and developmental stage.

Who carries out the child’s ASD assessment?

At The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, ASD assessments for children are led by experienced psychiatrists specialising in autism. The assessment is also supported by a wider team of psychologists, therapists, and neurodevelopmental professionals to ensure a thorough assessment.

How long does the assessment process take?

Assessments are usually completed across multiple appointments to ensure a thorough understanding of the child’s needs. Reports and feedback are typically provided within 7–10 working days following completion of the assessment.

Will my child’s school be involved?

Where appropriate, we may gather information from schools or teachers to better understand the child’s experiences across different environments.

What happens after the assessment?

Families receive a detailed report, feedback session and tailored recommendations, which may include school accommodations, therapy recommendations or additional support options.

What does neuroaffirmative mean?

A neuroaffirmative approach recognises autism as a natural variation in how people experience the world. Our assessments focus on understanding the child’s individual strengths and challenges in a respectful and supportive way.
