Company Description

Cotswold Neurodevelopmental Service is a specialist Autism and ADHD service that supports adults and children with neurodevelopmental differences. The service is built on an ethos of placing each person and their lived experiences at the centre of assessment and care, creating a shared understanding of their strengths and difficulties. It was founded in response to the challenges many neurodivergent people face in accessing meaningful and effective support, even after receiving a diagnosis. The team focuses on providing learning, hope, and opportunities for individuals who experience the world in their own unique way, aiming to bridge the gap between assessment and ongoing support. Clinicians work collaboratively to deliver thoughtful, person-cantered assessments and recommendations.
