I work as part of a multi-disciplinary team which includes Consultant Paediatricians, Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists and Occupational Therapists.
I am trained to administer and interpret the findings of a range of standardised diagnostic assessments for both children and adults. ​
I produce a thorough and comprehensive report with recommendations for all assessments.
Assessments can be delivered either in person or remotely.
Careful consideration is given on an individual basis when deciding whether video-link assessment is appropriate and able to meet the individual’s needs.
​
I have been delivering online assessments since 2018 has adapted and refined the observation session so that it is thorough and delves beyond what might be captured from an ADOS assessment alone.
1 Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule

​​
2 The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised

3 The Autism Clinical Interview for Adults

Speech and Language Assessments
Ages 5-22 years: Speech and language assessment using the most up to date standardised assessment: The Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-5 (CELF-5). The CELF-5 is used to generate a Core Language Score and will provide a breakdown of strengths and difficulties. Other assessment tools (standardised and informal) may be used if deemed necessary.
Preschoolers: Speech and language assessment using either the Pre-School CELF-2 or play-based assessment materials. The assessment examines attention and listening skills, play, comprehension and expressive language skills. Specific therapy techniques will be demonstrated within the session. ​
Autism-focused speech and language assessments can also be provided, please contact me for more information.
