Specialist autism, ADHD and dyslexia assessments, and support after a diagnosis
We start with who you are, not a checklist. A calm, unhurried assessment that helps you understand yourself or your child, with clear answers, a named person alongside you, and support for whatever comes next. If you already have a diagnosis, post-diagnostic support is open to you whoever diagnosed you.

A message from our founder
More than assessment
Many families come to us because something doesn't quite make sense. Learning feels hard, daily life is overwhelming, or the support isn't working. I started Sensational Minds to help families make sense of those experiences and turn understanding into meaningful support.
As a parent of neurodivergent children myself, I know how much it matters to be heard. With us, you will never be treated as a diagnosis, a referral or a report. You will be treated as a person.
Because understanding should lead somewhere.

Why families trust Sensational Minds
“Receiving our son's autism diagnosis has made such a positive difference. It has given us a much deeper understanding of him, the way he experiences the world and why certain things can be challenging for him.”
