This will be an NHS Standard Contract Sub-contract for the provision of Neurodevelopmental Assessments (ADHD and Autism) to Children and Young People in Suffolk.

The Contractor will:
•	Assess and diagnose ADHD and/or Autism 
•	identify differential needs and recommend appropriate support, including self-help tools and by accessing both services and universal provision
Through a multidisciplinary diagnostic and needs-led assessment process which is compliant with NICE Guidance and DSM-V or ICD-11 criteria.
ADHD Diagnostic Assessment
A diagnosis of ADHD must only be made by a specialist psychiatrist, paediatrician or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional with training and expertise in the diagnosis of ADHD
Autism Diagnostic Assessment
The Contractor will complete a full NICE-complaint needs-led diagnostic assessment for those with suspected Autism
When appropriate, joint ADHD and Autism assessments will be offered.
