Developmental Assessment Appointments
At Childhealthy, we understand how important it is for parents and carers to have clear answers about their child’s development. If you are concerned about your child’s behaviour, communication, learning or overall progress, our developmental assessment appointments, at The Portland Hospital in London, provide an opportunity to explore those concerns with experienced paediatricians in a supportive environment.
Comprehensive assessments tailored to your child
Our clinicians have extensive experience in assessing children with a wide range of developmental differences and disabling conditions. This includes developmental delay, difficulties with speech or motor skills, autism spectrum conditions, learning disabilities, and a variety of genetic or syndromic diagnoses. Each appointment is tailored to your child’s individual needs, with time to discuss your observations, review relevant history and carry out appropriate assessments.
Specialist autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments
Childhealthy also offers a dedicated specialist assessment service for children with possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These assessments follow recognised diagnostic frameworks and are delivered by clinicians experienced in identifying and supporting autistic children. We work closely with families to ensure you understand the process, what the findings mean, and the options for support going forward.

A supportive and informative process
Our goal is not only to reach a clinical understanding of your child’s development but also to provide guidance and reassurance. Following your appointment you will receive clear feedback and, where appropriate, a written report outlining any findings and recommendations. This may include advice on early interventions, onward referrals or strategies to support your child at home and in educational settings.
Convenient weekly clinics
Developmental assessment appointments are held weekly at The Portland Hospital, providing families with access to specialist care in a central London location. Appointments can be arranged promptly, and our team is happy to discuss any questions you may have before you attend.

If you are worried about your child’s development, you do not need a formal referral or diagnosis to seek help. You can contact our team directly to discuss your concerns and book an appointment.
