Considering NHS and private routes
Choosing how to seek an assessment is a personal decision. Take time to understand the options, the cost and what you need from the outcome.
Questions to help you decide
You do not have to commit to an assessment before asking questions.
Explore your NHS options
Ask your GP about the assessment routes available to you or your child, how referrals work and current waiting times in your area.
Understand the private cost
At Curious Minds, all six assessment fees are published in full. Read the appointment details for your pathway and ask about anything you need clarified before booking.
Think about what you need next
If you hope to use a report for healthcare, education or work, discuss the requirements with the relevant organisation. Bring these questions to your consultation too.
