We welcome referrals from a range of sources including health professionals, service providers, commissioners, private healthcare referrals and self-referrals. Upon receipt of the referral or enquiry an appointment is allocated to the appropriate clinician based on the skills of our clinicians and patient requirements. An appointment pack is then issued (which can be sent by email or post) and includes our detailed developmental history questionnaire for completion prior to the appointment.
For children assessed by our service, all appointments are multidisciplinary in accordance with NICE Guidelines.
For adults assessed by our service, we ensure all aspects of the specialist neurodevelopmental assessment are discussed, and inform individuals of support available locally, charities and of our monthly post-diagnostic support group.
Please find detailed below the basic diagnostic procedure followed by Axia ASD Ltd:
- Completion of questionnaire
