Experiences of the neurodevelopmental assessment and diagnostic pathway for children and young people in Birmingham

30/07/2024

This investigation examines the barriers and challenges for children and young people on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD assessment and diagnostic pathways in Birmingham.

“Those of us who support families with neurodivergent children know how hard it is to get the right support due to delays in assessment and diagnosis. We hear the stories daily, and we are desperate for the situation to change. This report gives us data to quote and highlights the areas that need to improve. It gives strength to our arm when campaigning for change.”
