Autism North East
Autism North East is an ethically driven, not-for-profit independent clinical service established in 2013, providing specialist neurodevelopmental assessments, therapy, and ongoing support for clients of all ages. Based in Clara Vale with a highly experienced multidisciplinary team comprising senior clinicians, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and specialist teachers, the practice delivers thorough diagnostic evaluations adhering strictly to NICE guidelines. Their comprehensive assessments cover Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), sensory processing differences, language disorders, and co-occurring mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma. By focusing on an individual's unique profile of strengths and needs rather than just a diagnosis, the team formulates practical recommendations and strategies that can be effectively shared with schools, employers, and healthcare professionals. While the clinic primarily conducts face-to-face appointments at their North East headquarters, online sessions are available upon request to accommodate client needs. Autism North East explicitly confirms on their official platform that they do not currently participate in NHS Right to Choose contracts, operating instead as a private, self-referral and independent pathway designed to help individuals navigate neurodiversity with personalised care and compassion.
