ADHD & autism assessments

Trusted assessments, for children and adults

One place to understand what's happening, access a trusted assessment, and get real support before, during and after. Every assessment is carried out by regulated UK clinicians; we handle the navigation so you don't have to.

No diagnosis needed to start support, and no referral needed to talk to us.

Speak to a specialist about what's happening and understand the right next step. Sometimes that's an assessment; sometimes it isn't.

Get practical support now. You don't need a diagnosis to use Remarkable Minds, and the waiting list doesn't have to mean waiting to be helped.

Why families use us

You shouldn't need a project plan to get an assessment

Doing this alone means late nights comparing providers, decoding referral criteria and waiting lists, and hoping you've picked well. Most parents are doing it after work, on top of everything else.

We do the navigating instead. A specialist helps you choose between NHS, Right to Choose and private routes, connects you with a trusted, regulated assessment provider, and stays with you through the process. The clinical assessment is always delivered by regulated UK clinicians; the guidance, the honesty and the support around it come from us.

How it works

Four steps, one door

01

Tell us what's happening

Fill in the short enquiry below. Who the assessment is for, what you'd like to explore, and where you are right now.

02

Talk it through with a specialist

A neurodiversity specialist calls you to understand the situation properly and agree whether an assessment is the right next step. If it isn't, we say so.

03

We handle the navigation

NHS, Right to Choose or private: we set out the realistic routes, timescales and costs, then connect you with a trusted, regulated assessment provider.

04

Support before, during and after

Practical help doesn't pause for the assessment. And once the report arrives, we help you understand it and put its recommendations to work at home and school.

A note on honesty: we never promise a diagnosis, a timescale the system can't deliver, or an assessment you don't need. A good assessment tells you what is and isn't going on, and that clarity is the point.

Support without waiting for a diagnosis

The waiting list is not a waiting room

6-18

months or more is the routine wait for an initial diagnosis

you can request an EHCP needs assessment without a formal diagnosis

Nothing about your child's week pauses while you wait, so support here doesn't either. Specialists work from what you're actually seeing, in your words. If a diagnosis arrives later, it adds to the picture; it was never the entry ticket.

For adults too

Recognising yourself in your child's story?

It happens all the time: a parent researching their child's ADHD or autism starts to see their own life differently. Adult assessment works the same way here. Tell us you're enquiring for yourself and we'll talk through the routes that exist for adults, honestly and without pressure.

The vetting checklist

Every specialist passes six checks before meeting your child.

We do the checking so you don't have to. Every line clears before anyone can take a booking.

Common questions

Do you carry out the assessments yourselves?

No, and you'd be right to be wary of anyone vague about this. Every assessment is carried out by regulated UK clinicians through assessment providers we trust. Remarkable Minds is your guide: we help you choose the right route, connect you to the right provider, and support you before, during and after.

Who can be assessed?

Children, teenagers and adults. Most families come to us about a child, and many parents recognise themselves along the way; adults are welcome to enquire for themselves.

Do I need a GP referral?

It depends on the route. NHS and Right to Choose assessments usually start with a GP referral; many private routes don't need one. We explain what your options actually involve on the call, including what each needs from you.

How much does an assessment cost?

It depends on the route and the provider. Right to Choose is NHS-funded; private assessment costs vary. We set out the realistic costs of each option clearly before anything is arranged, so there are no surprises.

Do we need a diagnosis to get support or start an EHCP?

No. You can start an EHCP needs assessment request without a formal diagnosis, and every Remarkable Minds session, programme and tutoring hour works without one. Support starts when you need it, not when the system catches up.

Will the assessment definitely end in a diagnosis?

No, and nobody trustworthy will promise you one. A good assessment tells you what is and isn't going on, which is valuable either way. Whatever the outcome, we help you understand it and plan the right support.

Clarity, without the maze.

Whether you need direction, an assessment, help through the wait or help after the report, start with one enquiry and we'll take it from there.
