Community Assessment Therapy Services (CATS)

Multidisciplinary ADHD and Autism Assessment for Under-18s in Suffolk

Community Assessment Therapy Services (CATS) provides ADHD and autism assessments for children and young people up to 18 from Office 3, Earsham Hall, Earsham, Bungay NR35 2AN, delivered by a CQC-registered multidisciplinary team.

Why Choose CATS?

• Four Disciplines in One Team: Psychologists, paediatricians, neurodevelopmental specialists and therapists working together rather than a single assessor
• CQC Registered: A CQC-registered multidisciplinary team
• Named Screening Tool: The Conners ADHD screening questionnaire is used as part of the process
• Support After the Report: Post-assessment support and therapies offered alongside diagnosis
• Rural Suffolk Base: Earsham near Bungay, serving the Suffolk and Norfolk border where private options are limited
• Training Too: The service also provides training, which signals specialist standing

Assessment Process

Assessment is delivered by the multidisciplinary team and includes the Conners ADHD screening questionnaire. CATS does not publish its full assessment steps, appointment lengths, its fees, or the names and registrations of its assessing clinicians: ask about these when you enquire.

Who It Is For

Children and young people up to age 18. This is not an adult service.

Medication and Right to Choose

CATS does not prescribe ADHD medication, so a diagnosis would need to be taken to a prescriber separately if you want to consider treatment. It does not accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, so assessment is self-funded or through insurance.
