Support after your diagnosis
Our multidisciplinary team works from a neuroaffirming approach – strengths and rights based, and embracing neurodevelopmental differences.
Whether you or your child was assessed for autism or ADHD with us, or with another provider, we offer post-diagnostic support for children, adults, parents/carers, and families – delivered at the practice and/or in educational settings. You don’t need to have been diagnosed with us to access this support.
Educational Psychology: support for children and young people
We offer consultations to help identify your (or your child’s) strengths and challenges, and the supports that help at home and school.
Sessions are designed to help children and young people understand their diagnosis, using age-appropriate resources.
Educational Psychology: support for parents and carers
Understanding and coping
- Understanding neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism and ADHD
- Playing and interacting with your child
- Understanding and managing increased anxiety
- Strategies to support emotional regulation
- Understanding and supporting sensory needs
- Awareness of masking
Planning and support at home and school
- Support for home and school, including a safe space, visual timetable, predictable routines, and sensory supports
- The Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) process, including SHANARRI and Child Planning Meetings (CPMs)
- Preparing for Child Planning Meetings – our Educational Psychologist can attend, if requested by parents (with the school’s permission)
- Signposting to further resources and support
Educational Psychology: support for independent schools
We offer consultation and advice to school staff on neurodevelopmental conditions, including neuroaffirming practice, tailored to your school’s needs.
Speech & Language Therapy
We support children, young people, and families to understand autism, with information adapted to support language and communication differences where needed – using a neuroaffirming approach that helps you understand your own communication.
This includes The Hanen Program® – More Than Words, for parents of autistic children, or children who may benefit from social communication support.
Nutrition
If you or your child are experiencing eating or nutrition difficulties linked to neurodiversity, such as ARFID, our dietetics service offers thorough assessment and a collaborative, tailored intervention plan.
Occupational Therapy
If you or your child are experiencing difficulties with daily living skills – such as self-care, meaningful activity, routine, or structure – linked to neurodiversity, our Occupational Therapy service offers thorough assessment and a collaborative plan tailored to home, school, further education, or work. Sensory assessments and recommendations are also available to help identify any sensory sensitivities.
Clinical Psychology
Available for children, young people, and adults, our Clinical Psychologists offer psychoeducation and support to understand the strengths and challenges that come with neurodiversity, and how to manage these so you (or your child) can thrive.
We’ll work with you to build an individual profile of your neurodiverse needs, and support you to find ways to meet them. Evidence-based psychological therapy is also available for co-existing difficulties, such as anxiety or low mood – offering a space to work through the challenges of navigating a neurotypical world as someone who’s neurodiverse.
A systemic family therapy approach
Available for children, young people, adults, and families, our systemic therapist first meets the person who received the diagnosis, alongside those they’re close to – for a young person, this might mean parents and siblings; for an adult, a partner and/or children, where helpful.
Together, we work towards a shared understanding of what the diagnosis means for each person, and how it affects patterns of relationship – does it bring more closeness or distance? Does it change how everyone makes sense of each other’s behaviour and responses?
The aim is to open up new ways of interacting and responding, and to strengthen the existing bonds of attachment and resilience within families.
