During the financial year, The Neuroinclusive Collective CIC has worked towards its community interest objectives by improving access to specialist neurodevelopmental assessment, guidance and support for individuals and families affected by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The organisation has focused particularly on reducing financial and systemic barriers to accessing appropriate assessment and support, recognising the significant challenges faced by individuals navigating lengthy NHS waiting lists, limited service availability and inequalities in access to specialist neurodevelopmental services. Neurodevelopmental Assessments During the reporting period, the organisation facilitated 13 specialist neurodevelopmental assessments, of which 12 were delivered voluntarily by the Clinical Director without remuneration. These assessments provided individuals and families with access to specialist clinical expertise that may otherwise have been financially inaccessible. The voluntary contribution reflects the organisation's commitment to ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent individuals from accessing appropriate neurodevelopmental assessment and guidance. Based on an equivalent assessment fee of £795, the 12 voluntarily delivered assessments represent an estimated £9,540 in professional services provided without charge. Development and Delivery of the Assessment Navigation Service During the financial year, the organisation also developed and implemented its Neurodevelopmental Assessment Navigation Service, designed to support individuals and families experiencing difficulties accessing appropriate ADHD and autism assessment pathways. The service provides professional clinical screening, exploration of presenting difficulties, guidance regarding NHS and Right to Choose assessment pathways, and support in identifying appropriate referral options. As part of the service's initial implementation, the Clinical Director provided professional assessment navigation and guidance voluntarily to four individuals, without charge. This intervention helped individuals better understand their available assessment options, navigate complex healthcare referral systems and make informed decisions about accessing appropriate support. The development of this service represents an important step towards addressing inequalities in neurodevelopmental healthcare access, particularly for individuals who may lack the knowledge, resources or confidence to navigate existing systems independently. Community Benefit and Social Impact Through its assessment and navigation activities, The Neuroinclusive Collective CIC has directly supported 17 service users through clinical assessment or assessment navigation during the reporting period. The organisation has prioritised accessibility, professional integrity and person-centred support, ensuring that individuals receive clinically informed guidance tailored to their circumstances. These activities have contributed to the organisation's wider community objectives of reducing barriers to neurodevelopmental assessment, promoting earlier identification of support needs and improving opportunities for individuals to access appropriate educational, workplace and healthcare adjustments. Future Development The organisation intends to build upon these initial activities by expanding access to affordable neurodevelopmental assessment and navigation services, developing professional education and clinical supervision opportunities, and strengthening partnerships with employers, educational institutions and community organisations. The Neuroinclusive Collective CIC remains committed to reinvesting its resources into activities that advance social inclusion, improve access to specialist support and reduce disadvantage experienced by neurodivergent individuals and their families.

Yes. The Neuroinclusive Collective CIC has engaged with individuals, families, professionals and wider stakeholders throughout the financial year to better understand the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in accessing appropriate assessment, employment opportunities and support services. Through clinical assessments, voluntary consultations and the development of its Assessment Navigation Service, the organisation has gained valuable insight into barriers experienced by individuals seeking ADHD and autism assessments, including lengthy waiting times, financial constraints, limited awareness of referral pathways and difficulties navigating healthcare systems. The Clinical Director also attended the Future of Employment Support Online Engagement Event, contributing to the organisation's understanding of emerging employment support priorities, policy developments and the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and neurodevelopmental conditions in accessing and sustaining meaningful employment. These engagement activities have informed the organisation's approach to developing accessible, person-centred services, including neurodevelopmental assessment navigation, workplace inclusion initiatives and professional support. The Neuroinclusive Collective CIC remains committed to ongoing consultation with service users, professionals, employers and community stakeholders to ensure that its activities remain responsive to community needs and contribute to reducing inequalities in healthcare access, education and employment.
