Contact and find us
The Neurodevelopment Specialist Service is based at Highbury Hospital.
Our service operates Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm (we have no inpatient facilities).
The length of appointments can vary so we try to give some indication of this on your appointment letter. Your letter will say who your appointment is with.
Meet the Team
NeSS is a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). This means we are a team of staff from different professions.
Our assessment team contains:
- Clinical psychologists
- Speech and language therapists
- Psychiatrists
- Occupational therapists
- Nurses
We also have a team of non-medical prescribers who manage ADHD medication and shared care.
Your appointment letter will tell you which member of the team you will see at your appointment.
Diagnostic assessments for autism usually involve more than one member of the team.

You will need to let the person on reception know you have arrived. Please say your name when asked.
We have a main waiting area (pictured below) with free water facilities and toilets available whilst you are waiting for your appointment.
If you prefer a quieter space whilst waiting for your appointment, there is a quiet waiting room just off the main waiting area and a quiet waiting area in the entrance way to the building.
