Neurodivergent Friendly Cardiff
Our strengths focused assessments are neuroaffirmative, and our expert clinicians understand and advocate for individuality, diversity and inclusivity. Approximately 1 in 7 individuals will have a neurodivergent processing difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADD, ADHD and ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition). We therefore offer bespoke onsite workshops on neurodiversity which provide essential information for teachers and TAs.
We are here to help you understand, integrate, and support that difference with care.

We will help you identify your specific challenges and provide tailored strategies to help you learn and thrive, whether in the classroom or workplace.

In the face of unprecedented demand for both diagnosis and treatment, we have made significant progress in developing integrated services. Once you’ve submitted this form, a member of our experienced team will be in touch to discuss your requirements. If you’re not eligible for AtW or DSA, this can be a helpful option to consider, allowing you to access funding and pay for support that works for you. You can also apply for PIP if you are working, studying, or receiving other benefits. On average, you could be paid between £70 to £100 for daily living each week. If you receive PIP, you may also be eligible for additional support schemes, which can be useful resources for neurodiversity.
If the initial screening identifies signs of a neurodiversity then the PSW team will consider whether to refer you to our external assessor for a full diagnostic assessment (see below). Our work focuses on children in vulnerable situations and the services that support them.
