Reducing the wait for ADHD and autism assessments with Xyla
With rising demand for ADHD and autism assessments, NHS diagnostic pathways are increasingly seeing waiting times stretch to two years or more, leaving many without the support they need. The longer people struggle with symptoms, the greater the impact this can have on their mental health, education or employment.
In alignment with the NHS 10-Year Health Plan to transition from analogue to digital care, Xyla, part of Acacium Group, has launched a clinician-led online assessment service for ADHD and autism.
It’s thought that there are more than 2.5 million undiagnosed neurodivergent adults in the UK alone. If you’re one of them, or you’re the parent to one of the tens of thousands of children waiting for as assessment, a free phone consultation could be the first step to getting the support you need.
ADHD and autism assessments trusted by the NHS
Through existing NHS partnerships, Xyla has already helped thousands of people access neurodevelopmental assessments and support, contributing to reductions in NHS waiting lists by over 50% in some regions. Now, by launching the service privately, Xyla aims to ensure even more people can receive the expert help they need without delay.
Xyla’s CQC-registered online assessment service connects people with experienced clinicians who use NHS-approved diagnostic tools to deliver thorough and accurate evaluations for neurodevelopmental conditions. This seamless digital pathway ensures timely support and empowers users with a clear diagnosis, helping them take the next steps toward tailored care and increased wellbeing.
