Comprehensive Autism Support

Beyond assessment & diagnosis, I provide evidence-based strategies and support that support a young person’s emotional, social and cognitive development. 

DR SARAH JORDAN

Two Decades of Supporting Families of Autistic Children

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in autism, I specialise in providing thorough, NICE-compliant assessments and diagnosis for pre-teen children. My practice focuses on delivering high-quality assessments within just 6-8 weeks, avoiding the usual 2-year waiting lists. This ensures your child receives timely support when it matters most.

I am the co-author of the After Diagnosis of Autism Parent Training program (ADAPT). ADAPT was written with the specialist teachers for Autism in York in 2020 because it was recognised that NHS services are often not commissioned to provide after-diagnosis support and information and that parenting a child with neurodevelopmental differences is different to parenting a neurotypical child.

It is full of practical ideas and advice regarding modifications that may need to be made in order to support an autistic child’s ongoing social, emotional and cognitive development. 

In addition to expert assessments, I offer evidence-based highly individualised positive behavioural support assessments and interventions. My goal is to help families navigate life after diagnosis with practical tools and ongoing support, ensuring your child has the best foundation for development and success.

Recognising Early Signs of Autism

While autism looks unique in every pre-teen, parents often reach out when they notice these patterns:

School Avoidance

Children become increasingly reluctant or resistant to attending school.

Heightened Anxiety

Children experience increased anxiety, both at home and in school settings.

Struggles with Daily Tasks

Children have difficulty with routine activities, such as dressing and eating.

Social Difficulties

Children struggle to connect and interact with their peers at school.
