ASD Assessment / Diagnosis Information

NHS partners are working together to understand the current high demand for ASD diagnosis. We want to make sure services are right for children and families whether there is a diagnosis or not. We are aware that families are waiting too long for their assessment. This is reflected in other areas across the country.

We have added extra capacity into the system and are now offering further choice using new technology to undertake a diagnosis. As part of the ASD diagnosis process, the CCG has asked Healios to work with RDaSH, the current provider, to offer an option of online diagnosis where this appropriate for the individual, based on need.
