Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Diagnosis Service - HCT
Referral for children (between the ages of 15 months and 15 years & 11 months)

Please find two questionnaires that need to be completed before we can process the referral:

1. Parent/Carer Questionnaire - To be filled in by the child's parent or carer. The more information you include, the more useful it will be when it comes to making an assessment.

2. Pre-School/School Questionnaire - To be filled out by the child's teacher or the school's special educational needs coordinator (SENCo).

Once the forms are completed, please return them to the reception team and they will let the referring GP know that everything is ready to make the referral.

You can find out more about the ASD Diagnosis Service here. There are also a number of national and local support groups that you can explore while you are waiting for the referral to be processed. Angels is the local support group based in Hertfordshire. Their website offers a wealth of information about Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) including details of local activities and support meetings. Great Ormand Street Hospital also hosts lots of resources and information on its website that might be useful to better understand ASD andits challenges.
