Begin the Process

  • Current Wait Times: Presently, the average wait time for an autism or combined assessment to commence is six-months. The average wait-time for a standalone dyslexia and dyscalculia assessment is typically three-months or less.

  • Complete the Referral Form: Parents or caregivers can begin the process by completing the Assessment Suitability Form, which gathers key information and includes questions about service involvement, assessment readiness, legal guardianship, consent, and other relevant factors.

  • To get started, simply click on the button below to access the form, which takes five-minutes or less to complete.

Please Note: the Assessment Suitability Form will appear on this page when there is capacity to take on new clients. If the waitlist is temporarily closed, the form will not be visible.

  • Please note: This form should not be submitted for:

    • Children under the age of six

    • Young people who have turned 18

    Wait times may vary and are updated regularly.

    Purpose of the Assessment Suitability Form

    This form is the first step in the referral process. It is designed to:

    • Facilitate initial contact

    • Support a preliminary decision about whether this practice is likely to be a good fit

    • Identify factors that may affect timing, readiness, or feasibility (e.g., consent)

    Submitting this form does not place the child or young person on the waitlist.

    What Happens Next

    If the information provided suggests the practice is appropriate:

    • You will be invited to complete an Intake Form and Consent Form

    • These must be completed, reviewed, and accepted before the child or young person can be added to the waitlist

    If the referral is accepted:

    • The child or young person will be placed on the waitlist

    • When capacity becomes available, you will receive an email with a booking link for a Parent Consultation

    When a Referral May Not Proceed

    A referral may not go forward if:

    • There are significant risk factors or mental health needs

    • The information suggests a public service (e.g., C.A.M.H.S., C.D.N.T., etc.) would better meet the child or young person’s needs

    • Legal consent cannot be obtained from all relevant guardians

    In such cases:

    • Families will be notified and provided with a reason

    • Signposting to public services may be provided in an email, where appropriate

    • All submitted information will be deleted in accordance with G.D.P.R.

    Data Protection and Confidentiality

    • All data is encrypted using S.S.L. security

    • The platform complies with G.D.P.R. and all relevant data protection standards

    • Only the Clinical Psychologist at All Kinds of Minds Assessments has access to submitted information

    Information is:

    • Temporarily stored

    • Used only to assess suitability and facilitate initial contact

    • Deleted if the referral does not proceed

    For further details, please refer to the full Terms of Service.

  • IMPORTANT NOTICE: Risk factors are screened in the Assessment Suitability Form to inform clinical decision making. However, emails and online submissions are not monitored for emergencies, and crisis intervention is not provided.

    If there are immediate concerns about a child or young person’s safety, attend the nearest Emergency Department. For non-acute concerns regarding mental health, contact the child or young person’s G.P. for advice on appropriate H.S.E. services.

    Clinical Psychologists are mandated reporters under Children First Guidelines. Any child protection or welfare concerns identified in the Assessment Suitability Form or during the assessment must be reported.
