Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic Service and Support - Survey for People Awaiting an ASD /ADHD Diagnosis and their Parents / Carers (Residing in Coventry and Warwickshire)
Feedback updated 15 May 2023
We asked
The Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System focus is to address waiting times for a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment, including autism diagnosis. This includes finding ways to reduce waiting times for an assessment and improve the support available to people who are waiting for an assessment.
Two surveys were developed to seek views of people waiting for an assessment, those diagnosed with autism, and their family and support networks; as well as one for professionals; to find out more about what is working well and what could be improved in diagnostic and support provision.
The 2023 surveys were a repeat of the 2021 ones which were aimed at understanding if any change has been experienced by respondents, as a result of the new Autism Strategy implementation and increased resource targeted at reducing wait times and improving the offer of pre and post diagnostic support.

Overview
Health and local authority care services are working together for Coventry and Warwickshire to address waiting times for a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment (Autism, and/or ADHD). This includes finding ways to reduce waiting times for an assessment and improve the support available to people who are waiting for an assessment.
We are seeking the views of people awaiting a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment, as well as those of their families and carers to help us understand what works well and what needs to be improved in relation to the assessment process and support received whilst on the waiting list.
The purpose of the survey is to understand more about:
- the reasons why you or your family member are seeking a diagnosis;
- what support would help you or your family member now while you are awaiting an assessment; and
- your experience of support and services you have accessed and whether these have been person centred and effective.
The following survey is for individuals who are waiting for a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment, and their parents / carers only.
A separate survey is also available for professional's responses. Click here.
