For children under 6, please contact us directly to discuss tailored assessment options.
Our gold-standard assessment package offers a comprehensive, holistic evaluation of children and young people aged 6 to 18. This multidisciplinary assessment integrates key components from our individual Autism, ADHD, Motor Coordination, and Sensory Integration assessments into one cohesive and robust process (Please refer to the tabs below for detailed information on each component included in this package.)
Designed to provide a detailed overview of a child or young person’s neurodevelopmental profile, this package identifies strengths, areas for growth, and specific challenges. The assessment supports a clearer understanding of how a young person functions across settings—at home, at school, and in the wider community.
Particularly valuable in educational contexts, this assessment supports improved academic outcomes, enhances social communication strategies, and provides the clinical evidence often required for applications such as an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP).
Our approach is rooted in clinical excellence and aligned with NICE guidelines, ensuring that findings are recognised and respected across healthcare, education, and allied services.
As a parent or caregiver, you know your child best. If you’ve noticed that they behave, communicate, or develop differently from their peers, or if they seem to be missing key developmental milestones—it may be time to consider a neurodevelopmental assessment.
At Bloom Clinical, we offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary assessments designed to provide clarity, answers, and a clear pathway forward. Our combined evaluation is the most efficient and cost-effective way to gain a holistic understanding of your child’s needs, supported by a personalised care plan for future development and support.

Conducted by certified Sensory Integration Practitioners, this evaluation identifies individual sensory preferences and challenges, equipping families with tailored strategies to enhance everyday functioning and wellbeing.
Our assessments are clinically robust, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Each assessment is conducted by a highly specialist multidisciplinary team, including professionals with advanced expertise and certifications in neurodevelopmental conditions. The process is medically led by a Consultant Paediatrician with a specialist interest in neurodevelopment, ensuring fidelity to NICE guidelines and alignment with national standards for formal diagnosis—where criteria are met.

At Bloom Clinical, we specialise in providing professional assessments for motor coordination and sensory processing challenges, in both children and young people. These comprehensive evaluations are designed to identify and understand the difficulties individuals may face in movement, coordination, and sensory integration, paving the way for tailored strategies and interventions that promote greater independence and well-being.
Located in St Albans, Hertfordshire, our clinic offers a compassionate and supportive environment where individuals and families can access expert care. Whether the challenges are affecting academic performance, daily routines, or personal relationships, our assessments provide the clarity needed to take positive steps forward.
Understanding Motor Coordination and Sensory Processing Challenges
Motor coordination refers to the ability to execute smooth, purposeful movements, such as writing, running, or using utensils. Difficulties in this area, often described as dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder (DCD), can affect both fine motor skills (e.g., writing) and gross motor skills (e.g., balance or catching a ball). These challenges may result in frustration, low confidence, or difficulties with academic and social tasks.
Sensory processing involves how the brain interprets and responds to sensory input, such as touch, sound, and movement. Some individuals may experience sensory processing disorder (SPD), where the brain struggles to process sensory information effectively. This can lead to hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli, impacting daily activities and interactions.
At Bloom Clinical, we take a thorough and person-centred approach to every assessment. The process includes:
The process is conducted in a comfortable and supportive environment, with our experienced clinicians ensuring that every individual feels at ease
