Autism assessments for children

At Evolve, we offer autism assessments for children and young people via the NHS Right to Choose pathway, or you can fund it privately.

How to request an assessment 

You can come to us for an autism assessment through two routes - the NHS Right to Choose pathway, and the privately-funded route. We are recognised as an approved provider by NHS England through the Right to Choose route for autism assessments in children and young people. If you would like to be assessed through this pathway, please go to your GP and ask them for an assessment with us at Evolve

The assessments can be done in person, online or a combination of both. Not everyone can have a solely online assessment. This can be discussed on booking.

 I cannot thank the staff enough for their thorough and person-centred approach to assessment. The communication throughout has been brilliant and I'm very grateful that prompts were provided to the school when seeking clearer understanding of need as this helped develop a bigger picture.

All the staff were really helpful and helped my daughter as she has really severe anxiety. They made what could have been very difficult appointments manageable, and kept Millie engaged during the sessions. Feedback was also excellent.

Parent of client

Evolve was INCREDIBLY thorough. We both agreed that we felt that our clinicians were very 'switched on' & actually listened to our concerns as parents.
