Welcome to Autism Assessment West
Autism Assessment West offers NICE compliant autism assessments by highly experienced autism clinicians.
What We Do
At Autism Assessment West our highly experienced clinicians provide NICE compliant Multi-Professional assessments for autism for children between 3–18 years of age.
We are based in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh. The initial appointment can be completed virtually and is focused on gathering the neurodevelopmental history of the young person. We will then gather any additional information including information from the current school or educational setting before meeting the young person in our Enniskillen clinic for an individual assessment. We use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second addition.
A medical assessment will be conducted by a specialist doctor and report provided.
Following the assessment all the information gathered will be considered by the clinicians and feedback will be provided with regard to the outcome of the assessment. A full report will be provided.
