This week, we carried out our first preschool assessment with Dr Obori Ikpeme, alongside our Clinical Psychologist and Speech & Language Therapist... It’s exactly the kind of supportive approach we love to offer families, with the right people in the room from the very start!

Going forward, Dr Ikpeme will be part of all preschool assessments, either face to face in Kent or via Teams for families at our other clinics.

A highly respected Consultant Paediatrician, he brings a wealth of experience in autism and developmental assessments, supported by years of clinical expertise and research published in leading medical journals.

In his NHS role, Dr Ikpeme also serves as Simulation Lead in Paediatrics and Named Doctor for Safeguarding Children, supporting both the next generation of paediatricians and the wellbeing of vulnerable children

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Dr Ikpeme to the team!

When your child is struggling in school but no one can quite pinpoint why, a cognitive assessment can offer the clarity you’ve been searching for.

At The Autism & ADHD Service, our cognitive assessments go beyond a quick test. We explore how your child thinks, learns, remembers, and pays attention. We look at working memory, processing speed, verbal and non verbal reasoning, and how they approach tasks.

These insights can help identify learning differences (like dyslexia or processing difficulties), highlight strengths that are being missed, and provide a clearer picture for both you and their school.

If you’re being told “they’ll catch up” or “it’s just behaviour,” but your instincts say otherwise, trust that. A cognitive assessment might be the missing piece.

Your child struggles in class.
But because they don’t “tick every box,” you’re told they’re fine.
They’re not disruptive enough.
They’re managing.
They’ll grow out of it.

But you see the overwhelm after school. The meltdowns, the exhaustion, the effort it takes to hold it all together. You’re not imagining it and you’re not alone.

If you feel like something’s being missed, trust your instinct. We’re here to help you get answers and the right support.

Some providers end the process with “inconclusive,” but that’s not how we work at The Autism and ADHD Service.

We know every child is different and that sometimes, more information is needed to truly understand what’s going on.

That’s why we offer a range of follow up support if a clear diagnosis can’t be made straight away. This may include:

🔎 School observations
🧠 Cognitive and learning assessments
🗣️ Speech and language therapy
📝 Bespoke input from our multidisciplinary team

We’ll always tailor our approach to your child’s individual needs, and guide you every step of the way.

“Why didn’t anyone notice sooner?”

It’s a question we hear all the time from adults finally receiving an autism or ADHD diagnosis later in life.

A late diagnosis isn’t too late. It’s a new beginning.
A chance to unlearn shame, to find support that actually fits, and to meet yourself with more compassion than ever before.

💬 If you’ve been wondering for years… maybe it’s time for answers.

We offer adult assessments from age 18+, with tailored support throughout.
