Navigating the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be a challenging journey for many parents and carers. At the Child Mental Health (CMH) Clinic, we understand the intricacies involved in diagnosing and assessing ASD in children, and our founder Dr. Jyoti Vandana has had a long career pushing the boundaries in this realm alongside her NHS work.

Our dedicated team is here to guide you through each step, ensuring a supportive and informative experience.

What is ASD?

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behaviour, and social interaction. The term ‘spectrum’ indicates the wide range of symptoms and severity each individual with ASD may experience. Recognising these signs early in children is crucial for their development and wellbeing.

The Importance of Early Assessment

Early assessment can make a significant difference. It leads to early intervention, which is key to supporting the child’s development effectively. Our team at CMH Clinic prioritises a child-centric approach, we understand that every child is unique and we ensure that each assessment is tailored to the individual needs of your child.

At CMH Clinic, our support doesn’t end with the assessment. We offer guidance on the next steps, including educational planning, behavioural strategies, and how to access local services and resources.

Understanding ASD and going through the assessment process can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Our team at CMH Clinic is committed to supporting you and your child every step of the way. Early assessment is a powerful tool that paves the way for a better understanding and support for your child’s unique needs.
