Autism and ADHD referralsDiagram talking through stage 1 of neurodisability assessment pathway.

Being referred for a neurodisability assessment

  1. Completing questionnaires
  2. Review of the questionnaires and confirming an assessment
  3. Waiting for an appointment for your child’s assessment

Completing questionnaires

As soon as your child’s referral is received by the Neurodisability service, we will contact you, via text as the child’s parent or carer, and your child’s school via email. These texts, letters, and emails will ask you both to fill out a questionnaire about your child and their needs.

If you have received a letter to say you’ve already been asked to submit a questionnaire, but you haven’t received the link via text, you might need to check that we have the right mobile number for you, or that another parent or carer has received the link instead of you. To fix this: call us using the phone number on the letter, 0114 305 8373 or 0114 305 8365

Once the two questionnaires (one for you, one for your child’s school) have been completed and have both been received, they go into a queue to be reviewed by a clinician.

Questions about completing questionnaires

What if I have problems with filling in the questionnaire?
If you are having any difficulty completing the questionnaire, your school are able to support you as they complete these questionnaires regularly.
What happens if the questionnaires are not completed?
We will contact you twice to ask for the questionnaire. The first time will be by text message. We will then send you a letter if we have not received it.

Please be aware that if you do not return the questionnaire is not completed, we will discharge your child, and you will need to ask your GP for a new referral.

We will also contact your child’s school to remind them to complete and return the questionnaires. If they do not return them, we will send you a letter to let you know that your child is being discharged from the referral, and you will need to ask your GP for a new referral.

The link does not work
Please try a different browser or device, such as a tablet. If you still have problems, please contact us on 0114 305 8373 or 0114 305 8365
