Every young person develops in a complex and unique way, so it takes multiple viewpoints to assess their behaviours or performance reliability. TAASC offers an individual, tailor-made assessment pathway –based on current international standards-to answer the questions you or others might have about your son or daughter’s development. Although we are flexible enough to cater for individual needs, TAASC is principally structured along specific pathways to allow us to best reach conclusions about whether an individual has an Autism Spectrum Disorder or an Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We will provide you with a copy of our recommendations, together with the expected costs of the recommended assessments, and we will arrange for sessions to be done in a timely manner. Different specialists will each complete their part of the assessment at at our Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meeting we will refer to international diagnostic criteria to reach a conclusion . The outcomes, as well as TAASC recommendations, will be discussed with you during a feedback session. The summary of the assessment and feedback will also be provided in the form of a report. We will be glad to communicate our conclusions and recommendations to important stakeholders in your child’s development such as their school, or family doctor, and liaise with them as necessary. Similarly, we also offer a further interactive feedback session a few weeks after the end of the pathway for any new queries. Our commitment to you is to be a centre of excellence. We will always do our utmost to ensure that the quality of our service meets accepted and expected international standards, since we are sure that you require this from us. Indeed, our children deserve nothing less.
