Welcome to the Roundway Centre
We provide comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments, diagnoses, and therapy for autism, ADHD, speech, language, and learning; achieving excellent outcomes guided by a personal plan, following NICE Guidelines and special education law.
Roundway Centre is a multidisciplinary team of speech and language therapists, education consultants, and educational psychologists, all experts in their fields. with over 20 years of experience. The team liaises with outside professionals, including paediatricians, psychiatrists and occupational therapists.
We work in partnership with schools during and after the assessment, hosting planning meetings. Unique strengths, styles, and aspirations are identified, harnessed, and embedded in an individual support plan for the family and school to empower young people to achieve autonomy and a valued role in life.
We support children, adolescents, and young adults (2 to 25 years) in identifying their pathways through education and social relationships and preserving their well-being. We provide individual counselling that builds self-awareness and insight to help young people achieve their aspirations. Our interventions are evidence-based and at the forefront of world-leading research and current legislation.
Giving young people a voice is at the centre of our ethos, empowering them to communicate their needs and wishes, to be accepted, understood, and celebrated for who they are, and to advocate for themselves. Parents’ needs are at the heart of our work; we listen to their concerns and support them in understanding their child better and in adjusting and adapting their interactions. We support schools in increasing their profile of inclusion and special needs support.
