The only UK registered charity dedicated solely to funding private autism assessments for children waiting on NHS lists.
Every child deserves answers, not years of waiting.
Across the UK, thousands of children are waiting years for an NHS autism assessment. During that time, many struggle without the understanding, educational support and specialist services that could make a life-changing difference.
Families who can pay privately often access assessments quickly. Those who cannot are left waiting. At MADI, we believe no child's future should depend on their family's financial circumstances.
MADI is the only UK registered charity dedicated solely to funding private autism assessments for children who have spent years waiting for an NHS diagnosis.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
An autism diagnosis is about far more than a label. It can unlock:
✔ Appropriate support in school
✔ Earlier access to specialist services
✔ Better understanding at home
✔ Greater confidence and self-esteem
✔ Practical strategies to reach their full potential
The Difference Your Support Makes
Every assessment we fund changes a child's life. One mother recently shared her experience:
My son was around three years behind developmentally, and after four years of uncertainty, receiving his diagnosis was life-changing.
Help Us Change More Lives
Every donation helps another child receive the answers, understanding and support they have been waiting for.
