Dr Cliona Cummings, Consultant Paediatrician, and Elaine Mc Greevy, Speech and Language Therapist, look forward to meeting with you and your child or young person to support you through their autistic identification. We provide an autistic affirming multidisciplinary Autism Assessment. Dr. Cummings and Elaine have been a team since 2006 and we are passionate about providing a supportive identification process.  We see children from 2.5 years to 16 years old. The assessment is usually completed in two sessions. Dr Cummings will meet you and your child at the first appointment. Dr Cummings will undertake the neurodevelopmental history taking and complete the medical assessment. Information will be requested from your child's teacher/other professionals. Elaine will then complete the one to one assessment (ADOS-2 and/or other assessments) with your child. You will be provided with a detailed, strengths-based report, confirming the outcome of assessment, including reasonable adjustments for education. Autistic informed resources and a personal letter are provided. ​ Our reports indicating formal identification of Autism are accepted by all NHS Trusts in Northern Ireland. When a NHS Trust accepts the diagnostic outcome, the Education Authority will also accept the formal identification.   ​
