Interesting / fun facts

  • Testimonial from a client: We were looking for an ASD assessment for our 11 year old son. Waiting lists in our area are really long. We found the Owl Centre and they were able to offer exactly what we needed. The whole process from start to finish was really straightforward. Karthik was open and approachable and explained everything to me really clearly. He was so kind and patient when he spoke to my son. My son was able to answer questions even though it was really difficult for him. We had the same experience with Claire who carried out the ADOS assessment. He was kind, reassuring and calm. The final report was completed quickly and was accurate and detailed. I am so glad we found the Owl Centre. Thank you.
