Autism North East - Feedback Meeting
What happens at the end of the assessment?
​
Following the MDT diagnostic meeting we see our clients for a feedback appointment to discuss the outcome of the assessment, any diagnosis that has been made and what we consider to be the individual’s strengths and needs. It is a chance to talk through any questions you might have about the assessment and the conclusions/diagnosis, and to think about recommendations for now and the future.
​
We also routinely meet up with Schools, Colleges and Employers to discuss potential support and changes that would be helpful in those environments following assessment.
​
Post-diagnostic Therapy and Support can be hugely helpful - we have a very good understanding of our clients following assessments and are able to tailor sessions specifically to each individual.
A comprehensive report is provided and shared with the GP and any other people involved such as school, college, work or other professionals.

​
​​​What if a diagnosis is not given?
​
Whilst we generally find that by the time people have found our service they are doing the right thing seeking a Neurodevelopmental assessment, sometimes our assessments result in a different issue being identified as being at the centre of what clients are experiencing.
We always give a thorough and detailed explanation of what we think may be the main issue, and discuss what options for therapy and support are available.

It wasn’t overwhelming because at each session I was supported with compassion and the utmost professionalism.
