Assessments for every stage of life

Whether you’re seeking answers for your child, supporting a teenager through school, or looking for clarity as a neurodivergent adult, our assessments recognise that neurodiversity looks different in every person. We take the time to understand the whole person, not just tick boxes on a form.

We offer three clear pathways

Autism assessment

A full multidisciplinary assessment following NICE guidelines, using gold-standard diagnostic tools for Autism.

What makes us different

A diagnostic report shouldn’t be the end of the conversation. We work to high clinical standards, explain everything clearly, and stay involved after the assessment is over.

Led by experienced clinicians

Our team is headed by Chris Wade, a Consultant Speech and Language Therapist with over 17 years working in NHS and private multidisciplinary diagnostic teams. He’s joined by our clinical lead Dr Tiago Pinto, a Clinical Psychologist with over two decades of experience.

Faster than the NHS pathway

While NHS waiting lists can stretch to several years, most of our clients are seen within weeks, with a clear timeline from enquiry to final report.

A multidisciplinary process

Every assessment includes ADOS-2, ADI-R, school or partner questionnaires, and a multidisciplinary meeting. You see a team, not a single clinician.

Support beyond the report

For us, a diagnosis is just the start. We talk you through your draft report in a dedicated feedback appointment. From there, we stay on hand to liaise with schools, NHS colleagues and local authorities so the recommendations are put into practice at school, work or home.

Meet our team

A clear path from first enquiry to final report

We’ve designed our process to feel calm and predictable. Here’s what an Autism assessment looks like, step by step:

1 – Free 15-minute consultation:

a no-pressure conversation with our team to talk through your situation and answer your questions.

2 – Information gathering:

we gather all the information we need to assess, using a mix of interviews and questionnaires. With your permission this may include family members or school staff, to help us get a fuller picture.

3 – Clear feedback:

our clinicians formulate a report and meet with you to present and explain it, answering answer any questions you may have.

4 – Ongoing support:

we remain on hand to speak with schools, NHS colleagues and local authorities about your needs.

Our ADHD and combined pathways follow a similar structure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and the team were amazing with my daughter. We always new that Alana had differences, but due to high masking in school we were never taken seriously. The team were professional and Chris made my daughter feel at ease (to the point when we left she asked when she could go back and play) so thank you for helping us understand our daughter a little better.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and his team are fantastic! I have been through getting diagnoses for all 3 of my children and with the older 2 children it was a 3+ year wait each with little to no contact from anyone, multiple meetings at venues that were very difficult for me to get to and I had to really push for any assessments to be done, but with Wade Therapy Services the whole process was scheduled and carried out in about a month! I emailed a few times to reschedule last minute and they were accommodating and friendly, I had issues with transport and they came to me which was nearly 3 hours out of their way, the staff my son and I met and talked to were very professional but also friendly and really supportive and full of advice. I only have positive feedback and feelings for Chris and his team they really were just amazing! If you want a reliable and professional team working with you and your child then contact Wade Therapy Services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used My Autism Assessment by Wade Therapy Services Ltd for four separate children’s assessments, and our experience every single time has been outstanding. From the very first contact, the team have been professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They take the time to really understand each child as an individual, creating a calm and supportive environment that puts both children and parents at ease during what can often feel like an overwhelming process. They have truly gone above and beyond to complete the assessments, especially when one of our children struggled significantly due to anxiety and overwhelm. The team showed enormous patience, understanding, and flexibility, always ensuring our child felt supported rather than pressured. Their compassionate and neuroaffirming approach made a huge difference to our family. Each assessment has been thorough, clear, and thoughtfully explained. The reports we received were detailed and genuinely helpful, giving us a much better understanding of our children’s needs and how best to support them moving forward. One of the diagnoses has already been recognised and ratified by the NHS, and we are currently awaiting the same process for the others. This has given us a lot of confidence in the quality and credibility of their assessments. The support after the assessments has also been fantastic. They are always approachable, quick to respond, and very easy to contact whenever we have had questions or needed advice. Knowing that ongoing support is there has been incredibly reassuring. We are truly grateful for the care, professionalism, and expertise shown by the whole team. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend My Autism Assessment by Wade Therapy Services Ltd to any family seeking a high-quality, supportive, and reliable assessment service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a very positive experience with Wade Therapy Services during our son’s ASD and ADHD assessments. Chris and the team were supportive, understanding and professional throughout the whole process. The waiting times were much quicker than we expected, and receiving the final report within around 3 months made a huge difference for our family. The assessments helped us better understand our son’s needs and how to support him both at home and at school. We felt listened to, and the final report was clear, thoughtful and very helpful. We’re very grateful for the support and would happily recommend Wade Therapy Services to other families.
