# The Dawn Practice > The Dawn Practice is a private neurodevelopmental and mental health clinic in Scotland. It provides clinician-led autism assessments, ADHD assessments, psychological therapies, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and psychiatry with specialist nurse prescribing for children, adolescents and adults. It operates clinics in Glasgow (Bath Street and Wellington Street), Bearsden, Newton Mearns and Ayr. Reports are recognised by the NHS and education services. The Dawn Practice differs from most Scottish assessment clinics because it delivers assessment and treatment under one roof. Its multidisciplinary team of 50+ clinicians includes psychiatrists, clinical and educational psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists. Autism assessments use gold-standard tools (ADOS-2, ADI-R). ADHD assessments use structured tools (QbTest, DIVA-5). Where clinically appropriate, medication and prescribing follow diagnosis, so a patient does not need a second provider for treatment.
