The Autism Clinic at Re:Cognition Health provides autism assessments for children and adolescents, aged 18 months – 18 years, and evidence-based interventions for children aged 12 months – 10 years.
Our team is proud to offer specialist autism assessments in the world-renowned Harley Street Medical Area within four weeks of enquiry, at an affordable price.
Expertise and a collaborative approach
With extensive NHS and private sector experience, our consultants provide outstanding clinical expertise with a collaborative approach.
The multi-disciplinary team comprises a Paediatrician, Child Psychiatrist, Speech and Language Therapist and Psychologist/Autism Practitioner, who use a series of gold-standard diagnostic tools tailored to the child’s specific constellation of symptoms, working collaboratively with family members, teachers and carers.
Autism assessment process
The Autism Assessments at Re:Cognition Health encompass an initial assessment with the child’s parent or carer.
This will involve a Developmental Interview, as well as the Autism Diagnostic Observational Schedule (ADOS-2), which is a play-based assessment with the child that reviews communication and social behaviour through age-appropriate games, activities and conversation.
Following these assessments, a detailed report will be issued with diagnosis, guidance and recommendations within 2-4 weeks.
The report is specifically tailored to the educational, behavioural and developmental needs of the child and offers further recommendations, all of which are reviewed and discussed in a virtual follow-up appointment. Our reports are recognised by both the NHS and Education Authorities.
Early intervention
The Autism Service also includes evidence-based early intervention. We are the only clinic in the UK to offer the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) Parent Coaching, a play-based programme designed for infants and toddlers with autism.
Hailed in 2012 as one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs, ESDM is designed to enhance language, social communication, imitation, joint attention, play, motor & self-care skills.
Our service also offers Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT), which is a parent/carer-led video feedback intervention.
With both ESDM and PACT, parents/carers work with the certified therapist in the clinic and apply the play principles with their child at home.
Multiple published studies have shown evidence of improvements in core autistic symptoms and long-term benefits in young children with autism who have received these interventions.
Re:Cognition Health is passionate about supporting each individual to reach their fullest potential.
