ADHD and Autism Assessment Referral process
ADHD and Autism Assessment Support at RNCM
If you think you might have ADHD or be on the autism spectrum, the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) has a clear and supportive process to help you explore assessment and access the help you need. This document explains what steps to take—from first speaking to the Disability and Wellbeing Service, to getting referred to your GP, and receiving support while you wait for a diagnosis. Even before a diagnosis is confirmed, you may be eligible for a Personal Learning Plan (PLP), academic adjustments, and mental health support. Once diagnosed, you can apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) and receive ongoing help. The aim is to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
