OUR VALUES
All the Autism Sussex team simultaneously work in NHS CAMHS or Child Development Services. We therefore fully understand the extreme waiting lists and resource pressures on NHS services and indeed, the pressures on the parents and young people requiring such services.
As you may know, a NICE compliant multi-disciplinary assessment requires at least two highly qualified professionals (Paediatrician/ Psychiatrist /Psychologist/Specialist Teacher/Speech and Language Therapist) to assess and formulate, usually complex presentations, and be able to consider other possible diagnoses.
If you would like to discuss your child further, then please contact us to see how we can help.
What our clients say
We worked with Amtul, Laura and Ann for ASC with PDA assessment for my 6-year-old. Right from the pre-assessment consultation, we felt instantly at ease and trusted the team totally. They understood immediately where we were coming from and were respectful, warm, kind and professional at all times. They came to our home for the assessment itself to help my child feel more at ease which worked brilliantly, and they were fantastic with her. Throughout the whole process they have listened to us with respect and empathy and have explained and feedback to us in a timely and professional manner. The feedback we received after assessment was given in a clear and supportive manner and we have felt entirely at ease throughout the entire process. Thank you so much to all the team, we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone seeking support.
Tom and I would like to thank you for your support during Nathan’s assessment. You have managed to engage with Nathan in a way that not a lot of people can, with great understanding and patience, flexibility, humour and warmth. You have gained his attention and his trust. You’ve explained things to him (and us) in a straightforward but sensitive manner, and despite the reality of Nathan’s diagnosis, through your encouraging words, Tom and I (and I’m sure Nathan too), are more positive than we have been in a long time about the journey ahead. With our guidance and access to professional support, we’ve no doubt that Nathan will find his passion, his ‘tribe’, and that he too will be independent and build his own success in future. For that we are so very grateful, thank you.
