Testimonials

The Solihull Autistic Assessment Centre have been absolutely amazing throughout my son's diagnosis. Jessica and Claire have just been wonderful. So thorough and professional throughout, I have always felt I could email them and ask questions at any time. The diagnosis report itself was incredibly comprehensive and I felt they really 'got' my son and were able to provide a very accurate diagnosis and ways in which we could help support him, both at home and at school. I would recommend anyone waiting the 4+ years it now takes to get a diagnosis through the NHS/CAMHs to the Solihull Autistic Assessment Centre. We got the ball rolling in September and had a diagnosis through and confirmed by November. It is so worth it!

I would highly recommend the Solihull Autism Assessment service. The service received was very prompt and delivered in a kind and caring, none judgemental manor. Communication from the practice was always prompt and clear all through the service provided. The service itself was in depth and thorough, all the time given with care and kindness. I thank them for there time and support, and would highly recommend the service.

I would highly recommend Solihull Autism Assessment Service. We used them to assessment our teenage daughter, we could not wait the 18 months for the initial appointment on the NHS - she would have left school by the time she had been diagnosed! They were professional, friendly and sensitive. They explained every step of the process to us and fully liaised with school and other services involved. Initial appointment to diagnosis was 2 months! The report is incredibly detailed and the feedback session where diagnosis was confirmed with our daughter present was done in the most positive and sensitive way highlighting all her strengths. THANK YOU!
