Neurodiversity Assessment, Support, Training

This government grant is designed to help individuals get or stay in work with the right support for their needs. Each year, the Access to Work scheme can award up to £66,000 in workplace support. We are uniquely skilled to assess, diagnose, and understand strengths and difficulties for the 1 in 5 children and adults living with neurodevelopmental conditions. I always suggest that if you are looking for the diagnosis to be accepted by any service, GP, MH services, psychology, etc, that you discuss my credentials with them. This will help you ascertain if they will accept it before you commit to a professional autism assessment with me.
We encourage open dialogue, and our support services are designed to create a safe space where you can freely discuss your experiences and concerns. Peer to Peer support of others who understand our situation is a benefit of being part of the AP Cymru family, as our families will openly share their experiences. Below, you’ll find links to video resources we’ve put together to help you understand what to expect from the assessment process.

Autism assessments work best when they employ a collaborative and personalised approach, working closely with the individual being assessed. This helps me understand the individual’s perspective, emotions and struggles better, allowing me to uncover vital information that improves the efficacy of my diagnostic process. I use a variety of assessment techniques for this, such as questionnaires, self-reports, and interviews.

This conversation is as much about you getting a sense of us as it is about us beginning to understand your needs and whether Divergent Life feels like the right fit. The first step is to get in touch with us to express interest in screening or assessment. We will share our current pricing and an overview of how the process works, so you have clear information from the outset.
Not everyone will experience the same signs,  and two people with the same diagnosis might show completely different behaviours or abilities. Please note that C3SC cannot take responsibility for the information other organisations produce, for example, in their resources, and on their websites. Once you are enrolled, we encourage you to book an appointment with us so we can verify your arrangements and share this arrangement with yourself and your course team.

By fostering success and well-being for all individuals, we aim to promote a society where everyone can thrive, regardless of neurological differences.

We pride ourselves on delivering reports that you can read and understand, that adhere to British Psychological Society guidelines and use the latest assessment methods.

Neurodivergence funding has increased capacity in children's neurodevelopmental services and the Integrated Autism Service to help reduce long waiting lists. The Neurodivergence Improvement Programme has played a leading role in the development and delivery of sustainable and integrated services.
