Clear, Upfront Pricing for Every Assessment and Therapy Service
One of the most common questions families ask before reaching out is simple: what will this actually cost? Below is a transparent breakdown of every service Caroline Goldsmith offers, so you can plan with confidence before you book.
Autism Assessment
A full diagnostic evaluation for children, teenagers, and adults, built on the two assessment tools recognised internationally as the clinical gold standard: the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) and the ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised).
Investment: €975
This covers:
- A structured clinical interview with parent/guardian and child (or with the adult client directly)
- Direct observation using ADOS-2 protocols
- A full written report, formatted to satisfy school, SENO/NCSE, and Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) requirements
- A feedback session to walk through findings, answer questions, and outline next steps
Wait time: Most clients are seen within 2–3 weeks of first contact — there is no multi-year list to join.
ADHD & Attention-Related Assessments
Many children and adults present with attention difficulties that overlap with anxiety, sensory processing differences, or autism itself. A dedicated ADHD evaluation helps separate these threads and arrive at an accurate picture.
Investment: Starting from €85 for an initial screening consultation, with full assessment costs confirmed once your specific needs are discussed.
Cognitive & Learning Assessments
For families wondering whether a child’s school difficulties stem from a specific learning need — dyslexia, dyspraxia, or a broader processing difference — cognitive testing measures intellectual functioning and learning profile in detail.
Investment: Quoted individually based on the scope of testing required. Contact the clinic for a personalised estimate.
