Welcome to RDA Autism & ADHD Practice
RDA Autism & ADHD Practice provides specialist, high‑quality, and individualised assessments for children and adults seeking a private Autism and/or ADHD diagnosis. Our clinicians work collaboratively and with a strong commitment to neuro‑inclusion at every stage of the process.
In addition to diagnostic assessments, we offer a range of specialist services, including Child Psychiatry, Adult Psychiatry, Speech and Language Therapy assessments, and Occupational Therapy assessments. A formal GP referral is not required to book an assessment with us.
Our assessments follow the guidelines set out by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for Autism and ADHD. RDA Autism & ADHD Practice is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring that our work meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and care.

Our Process
Initial Assessment
An Initial Assessment is recommended before booking any diagnostic assessments with a clinical practitioner. This will include screening tools which will help establish your treatment plan.
Specialist Assessment
Book in your Specialist Assessment. This can be an Autism Diagnostic Assessment, an ADHD Diagnostic Assessment, Child Psychiatry (General), Adult Psychiatry (General), Speech and Language Therapy Assessment, Occupational Therapy Assessment and many more.
Follow up Support
Receiving a diagnosis can mean different things for different people. For some, this may be a natural end point in their journey with our team. For others, there may be a wish to explore additional support, depending on what feels most helpful for you. This could be a Speech and Language Therapy Assessment to explore communication or an appointment with our Consultant Psychiatrists about whether medication might be appropriate. Next steps are guided by your needs, preferences, and goals.

Locations
We encourage in‑person assessments wherever possible, as many individuals find these most supportive. At the same time, we recognise that comfort, safety, and accessibility look different for everyone. Assessments can therefore be completed online for those who prefer to join from home or another quiet, familiar space.
Online
Our services are online for those who prefer to conduct the assessments in their comfort of their home
