Autism Diagnosis & Treatment

Receiving an autism diagnosis for a child can be an important step in being able to receive extra help and support, particularly at school.

Parents or carers may have recognised issues they have been concerned about that have affected their child’s behaviour, whether this in is a very young child or an older adolescent. Our specialist team understand this can be a stressful and worrying time for the family.

Having an autism diagnosis can often be reassuring and lead to a better understanding for you and your child.

Our autism diagnosis is provided by a consultant paediatrician and speech & language therapist, both with extensive experience of autistic spectrum disorders.

The main assessment session, designed for children typically aged 4 to 16, is based on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2).

This approach uses play-based activities for younger children and more structured tasks for teens. Additional diagnostic tools, such as cognitive evaluations or genetic testing, can also be used to aid the diagnosis.

Observations and input from the session are shared with parents or caregivers, along with a detailed written report.

Appointments can also be scheduled to discuss medical needs. Our priority is finding the best path for each child, with ongoing support available at our hospital.

Paediatric Allergies

 Our dedicated paediatric allergy consultant diagnoses and treats allergies in children, along with our team of paediatric consultants that also have experience in this area.

Our consultants use diagnostic tests including biochemical screening, vitamin deficiency testing and skin prick testing to help understand and diagnose the causes of the allergy.

Some of the allergic conditions that are treated include hayfever, eczema, asthma and food allergies such as an intolerance to nuts and dairy products.

Symptoms can often include itching, sneezing coughing, watery eyes and skin rashes, and in very severe cases, anaphylaxis.

In all cases our paediatric team will provide great care and support to children and their parents or carers, creating a personal treatment plan and focusing on improving the quality of life for your child.
