Outline of private pay assessment process at KT

Post enquiry, a member of our clinical team will arrange a pre-assessment call to ensure that we are able to deliver the right assessment for you/your child/family member.

Post the pre-assessment call, we will send you an invoice. Once settled, we will send out our pre-assessment questionnaires. For children, this will include a school-based questionnaire or home education questionnaire. At this point, we will also request a GP medical summary from your GP or your NHS app. When the pre-assessment questionnaires and GP summary have been returned, these will be revised by our clinical team.

Following our clinical review, we’ll reach out to you to arrange assessments. ADHD: 1 assessment slot approximately 2 ½ – 3 hours. Autism assessment: 2 sessions, ADOS/observation assessment approximately 90 mins, and ADI-R assessment 2 ½ – 3 hours.

Post-assessment, the clinical team meets for a multi-disciplinary team discussion, following which you will be called (phone or via video call) with the outcome of your/your child’s/family member’s assessment.

After the outcome, you will receive the diagnostic report and any onward recommendations.

What to expect from your private assessment

From initial enquiry to receiving your report, our private assessment pathway is designed to be clear, supportive, and efficient.

Step 1

Enquiry

Once we receive your enquiry, we will contact you to begin the private assessment process.

We’ll gather some background information from you, confirm the appropriate assessment pathway. After payment is received, you will be sent questionnaires to complete and asked to provide details of an informant (someone who knew you in childhood), if available.

Step 2

Assessments

We will book two separate assessment appointments once your questionnaires have been reviewed.

You will attend an ADOS-2 assessment, a structured interactive session exploring communication and social interaction.

We will also complete an ADI-r developmental interview with your informant to understand your early history and current experiences.

Step 3

Diagnosis

Our clinicians will review all information to make a clinical decision.

Your clinician will then contact you to discuss the outcome, answer any questions, and explain recommendations. You will then receive a full written report detailing your diagnosis and personalised support recommendations.

Patient Reviews

Always happy to help

“KT Healthcare have been so helpful during the whole process of assessing my son for autism. They've been so responsive to all of my emails, and always happy to answer any of my queries. The whole process has been smooth, I would highly recommend.”

Neuro-affirming, female-centered assessment

“Neurodiversity affirming adult female autism assessment via right to choose – thoroughly supportive and affirming of differences rather than highlighting things that were “wrong”. Short wait for all stages of assessment. Lovely and highly skilled clinicians. Would definitely recommend.”

Detailed report, expertise, and sensitive approach

“We just wanted to express our sincere thanks for the time, care, and professionalism you showed while assessing our child. We truly appreciate the thoughtful and thorough way you approached the assessment and the detail in your report has been incredibly helpful to us. Your views have given us a much better understanding of her needs and how we can best support her moving forward. It’s clear how much care and expertise went into your work, and we are very grateful for the sensitivity you showed throughout the assessment.”

Gaining a diagnosis often brings relief and understanding, helping to validate their unique history and perspective.

Task organisation and time planning

Assessing executive function skills including time management, organisation, planning abilities, and how these impact daily routines and work performance.

Emotional regulation

Evaluating emotional processing, self-regulation strategies, responses to change, and how emotions are experienced and managed in different situations.

Sensory overload

Exploring sensory sensitivities and responses to different environments, sounds, lights, textures, and other sensory stimuli that may impact wellbeing.
