Two Can Talk keeps waiting lists low, completing the entire assessment journey, from your initial consultation to the final written report in weeks rather than the multi-year wait typical NHS waitimes. Our hybrid approach (1 hour in clinic, the rest online) allows families to schedule appointments quickly around school and work commitments.

Two Can Talk follows gold-standard UK NICE guidelines, using recognised assessment tools including the ADOS (completed during your child’s 1-hour clinic visit) and the ADI-R (conducted online with parents). Every assessment is reviewed by a qualified multidisciplinary team of psychologists, speech and language therapists and neurodevelopmental specialists to ensure the diagnosis is clinically robust.

The assessment follows four clear steps:

• Gathering key observational input from your child's school or nursery.

• A comprehensive online developmental interview with parents/caregivers.

• A single 1-hour in-person play-based ADOS session with your child at our clinic.

• A detailed online feedback session where we explain the comprehensive report and discuss next steps and further support.

Your child only needs to spend 1 hour physically in clinic to complete the observational ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) assessment. All other stages—including parent interviews, developmental histories, questionnaires and the final feedback consultation—are completed online via video calls to minimise travel, sensory overload and disruption for your family.

Yes, Two Can Talk assessment reports are compliant with NICE guidelines and multidisciplinary standards, making them widely recognised by schools, local authorities and the NHS. Our comprehensive clinical reports detail your child's diagnostic outcome alongside tailored recommendations designed directly to support Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) applications and school accommodations. We also include a one page summary, helping professionals to tailor support exactly to your childs needs.
