The Centre is purpose-built for children with autism and other disabilities.

With state-of-the-art facilities and an experienced team of clinical professionals, Caudwell Children can provide a rapid Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis that is either 100% charity- (criteria-dependant, for a limited time) or self-funded.
