Services1 that provide Diagnostic Assessment of ASD
How was this document created? Services were sourced from the current outdated ASD directory, professional networks (health, education and voluntary sector), Information Services Division Scotland (ISD), Scottish Government Child and Adult Departments, eSAY, and a web search. Lists from each source were combined with duplicate services identified and removed; this led to a total of 164 distinct services that potentially provided diagnostic assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Each service was individually contacted by the Autism ACHIEVE Alliance to determine whether they provide diagnostic assessment of ASD. Of the 164 services, 5% had non operational contact details. Initially 94 services identified themselves as providing a diagnostic assessment of ASD; 30 adult services and 64 children’s services. In phase 2 of our work (2013) two further adult services were identified, these are marked with an asterisk* This list contains the contact details for the 96 services that provide a diagnostic assessment of ASD.

This list is inclusive of services and exclusive of individual practitioners, in line with the Quality Diagnostic Standard (2008).
