Not sure if a private autism assessment is right for you?

It is common to have questions before taking the next step. You may be wondering if your experiences are linked to autism, whether your child’s behaviour indicates a need for assessment, or whether a private diagnosis will be recognised by other services.

What Clients Say About Us

Families and adults often come to us at an important point in their lives. Our clients regularly highlight the clarity of our reports, the responsiveness of our team and the care shown throughout the assessment process.

Jo and the team have been amazing. Helping to answer any question with such empathy and precision. The journey through the assessment was timely, with a less than a week between each stage. Our dedicated coordinator (Leoni) really was an exceptional person with handling both correspondence and appointments. Using Jo Condon assessments was truly exceptional. The report received at the end included such detail, that only somebody with vast experience and understanding would be able to provide.

I am an autism specialist with over 20 years experience. I chose to have my own children diagnosed by Jo’s team. I made the right decision. The clinicians are amazing and the reports were excellent too. I’ve since recommended this service to close family and friends. I would not recommend any other service.
Worth every penny.

Clare W

Highly recommend Jo Condon Autism Assessments. We decided to use them after recommendations from our school as they are NHS & Local Authority approved. Fantastic team of professionals. So understanding & caring. They supported us all really well during the process. This has given our 14 year old daughter the validation and a better understanding of why she struggles and feels different to her peers. We thank everyone at Jo Condon for the beginning part of our daughter’s new journey in her life.
