  • NEW! Assessment with an observation appointment in the Devon clinic for children aged 0–18. If your child is 0-5, or you prefer Exeter, ask your GP for a referral to the "Hybrid (Devon ICB)" pathway.
  • Existing: Assessment with an observation appointment in the Norfolk clinic for children aged 6–18. If you prefer Norwich, ask your GP for a referral to the "Hybrid (Norfolk and Waveney ICB)" pathway.

Autism assessments
The parent interview was conducted with a lot of professionalism. I’ve got ADHD myself and the clinician kept me on tack when I needed it. She gave me the chance to share all the details and I didn’t feel rushed at all.
We are very positive about our experience with Paloma Health. For us, their strongest point was their knowledge of how autism can present differently in girls.
High-quality assessments
You expect the best for your child, so do we. That’s why Kate, our clinical lead, carefully oversees the quality of the assessments and ensures we meet the highest standards.
