ADOS-2 Assessment

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), is a gold-standard tool for assessing autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The assessment is conducted in a supportive environment where individuals can feel at ease, knowing that the clinicians have first-hand understanding of autistic perspectives. This enhances the reliability and depth of the evaluation process.

ADHD Assessment

For those seeking evaluation for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the team in Stockport offers thorough, evidence-based assessments.

The clinician’s lived experience with neurodiversity provides additional empathy and insight, making the process more approachable and tailored to each client’s needs.
