Our Services
KADS provides private autism and ADHD assessments, and strategic neurodevelopmental advisory, for individuals and families operating in complex, high‑responsibility environments.
All services are clinician‑led, discreet, and carefully scoped.
How We Work
Every engagement begins with a confidential private consultation.
This ensures that the work is appropriate, proportionate, and aligned with both clinical need and personal context.
We do not operate a volume model, and we do not offer standardised packages.
Private Autism Assessments
KADS offers comprehensive autism assessments for children, adolescents, and adults.
These assessments are designed for individuals whose presentations may be:
Subtle, masked, or high‑functioning
Complicated by co‑occurring conditions
Previously misunderstood or partially assessed
The work is senior‑led and conducted with time, sensitivity, and clinical depth — avoiding reductionist or checklist‑driven approaches. All assessments are completed in line with NICE guidance and nationally recognised diagnostic tools such as the ADI-R, ACIA and the ADOS-2
Private ADHD Assessments
We provide expert ADHD assessments across the lifespan, including later‑identified and nuanced presentations.
Our approach recognises that ADHD, particularly in high‑achieving individuals, can be overlooked, misattributed, or minimised.
Assessments are conducted with attention to cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors, rather than symptoms in isolation. All assessments are completed in line with NICE guidance and using tools such as the DIVA-5
Combined Autism & ADHD Assessments
For many individuals, a single diagnostic lens does not tell the full story.
Combined assessments are offered where autism and ADHD may coexist or interact, requiring integrated clinical consideration.
This approach supports clearer understanding, more accurate formulation, and more useful outcomes.
Complex Assessments
KADS undertakes complex assessments where previous diagnostic work has been:
Rushed or fragmented
Inconclusive or contradictory
Felt misaligned with lived experience
These assessments involve careful review, senior clinical judgement, and recalibration where appropriate.
Strategic Neurodevelopmental Advisory
We also offer strategic advisory support following an assessment.
This may include:
Complex decision‑making around education, work, or transitions
Navigating identity, disclosure, or positioning
Planning next steps aligned with long‑term personal or family goals
This is not therapy or treatment and is not open‑ended support.
It is focused, considered, and advisory in nature.
Confidentiality & Discretion
Discretion underpins all services at KADS.
We are accustomed to operating where visibility, reputation, and legacy require enhanced care in how information is handled and shared.
All enquiries and engagements are managed personally and with restraint.
Next Step
If you are considering assessment or advisory support, the appropriate next step is a private consultation.
This allows us to understand your circumstances and advise on suitability before any further engagement.
