The AAC is a private clinic and centre of competence, providing high quality assessments and reports for neuro-developmental conditions, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD. 

Assessments are conducted by one of our experienced team of clinicians who are qualified consultant psychiatrists or psychologists and every assessment outcome is reviewed and considered by a multidisciplinary team prior to preparation of a final assessment report.

AAC is located in central Hove with consulting rooms close to Church Road. Hove railway station is a 15 minute walk away. There are on street and multistorey parking only 2 minutes away and there are cafés and other amenities just outside.

Appointments can also be arranged in London upon request

If you are accepted by us for assessment then our intention is to provide you with access to an assessment date as quickly as we can.

To begin the application process, you must first register your details and complete the required screening questions. You can register here.

Following completion of the screening process, if you are accepted for an assessment, you will be provided with a link to our online booking system which allows you to select a time and date for your assessment which suits you

As part of our assessment process, it is helpful for us to obtain information from someone who knew you well during your developmental phases during childhood and teen years and would be willing to share information with us.

However, we understand that not everyone will be able to nominate someone and if that happens, your case will be considered by our multi-disciplinary team and a decision made on whether we are able to proceed without the additional information

After your assessment your clinician will review the outcome with our multi-disciplinary team following which your assessment report will be prepared and a copy provided to you.

Once you have received your assessment report you will be offered a follow up meeting with one of our team of clinicians, usually the clinician that carried out your assessment, to discuss the contents of your report and allow you the opportunity to have any questions answered.

Once you receive your assessment report you are free to share the report with anyone that you wish, including your GP.

Should you wish us to provide a copy of your report to your GP then we are happy to do so. An administration fee of £125 will apply to this additional service.
