 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our son assessed for ADHD, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was incredibly understanding, patient, and made both of us feel completely at ease. They took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and were very accommodating to his needs. The whole process felt supportive and reassuring, and we left feeling confident and well-informed. I would highly recommend their service to anyone considering an ADHD assessment for their child.

Incredibly thorough report has led to us understanding our daughters needs better, and her starting to develop her understanding of herself too. School have commented on how good the report is, particularly the tailored recommendations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have chosen ASD child after our health visitor pointed out that my two might benefit from an autism assessment due to difficulties in social and emotional area.
We had a look at a lot of different private clinics but ASD CHILD had a positive impression even before I made contact.
The team is wonderful and when approaching Dr. Vasileious, we finally felt heard.
The professionalism of how assestments are conducted made us feel secure and I know we are definitely in good hands due to the years of experience the staff has and how thoroughly everything is taken into consideration.
The team is always ready to reply at emails and it is lovely to be kept updated with how things are proceeding and this makes us parent feel included as it doesn't not always happen with other services.
Thank you ASD, you have helped us enormously already and we are extremely happy to have taken this journey with you, no matter where it could lead us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ASD Child Clinic provided  great care and support when diagnosing my 3-year-old son with autism. From the very first appointment, the entire team was patient, compassionate, and highly professional. They took the time to listen to my concerns, carried out a thorough assessment, and explained everything clearly and sensitively.

The diagnosis process felt respectful and supportive, and I left feeling informed, reassured, and guided on the next steps for my son. It’s clear that everyone at the clinic genuinely cares about the children and families they support.

Highly recommend ASD Child Clinic!
