Searching for a private autism assessment in Exeter? Jo Condon Autism Assessments offers NICE-compliant autism assessments for children aged 2+ and adults from our clinic at the Exeter Business Hub on Queen Street, in the heart of the city.
Our service supports individuals and families from across Exeter, Devon, East Devon, Mid Devon, Teignbridge, and the Cornish borders. Devon Partnership NHS Trust’s autism assessment pathway carries a long waiting list for both adults and children, and our private route is designed to offer a quicker, equally rigorous alternative.
Every assessment is carried out face-to-face at our Exeter clinic by experienced, UK-registered clinicians, with detailed written reports and personalised recommendations included.
Assessments at our Exeter clinic are carried out by UK-registered clinicians with extensive experience in autism diagnosis across the lifespan. Every clinician is DBS-checked, professionally regulated, and trained in the ADOS-2 alongside developmental history interviews and the wider battery of NICE-recommended tools.
We are alert to the specific patterns that often bring Devon families and adults to a private assessment — long NHS waits, complex co-occurring difficulties such as ADHD or anxiety, and the experience of being told over many years that autism wasn’t a possibility. Our role is to listen carefully and look closely, regardless of what previous services have said.
A private autism assessment in Exeter gives you a structured, in-person route to a formal diagnosis without the wait that currently affects Devon Partnership’s NHS pathway.
