Ben Jefferson

Prior to his professional training as a speech and language therapist, Ben worked as a teacher for young people with learning difficulties and/or mental health needs. In his current work for The Autism Service, he can be found providing ADOS-2 assessments and school observations in London and its surrounding counties. He offers occasional appointments online, taking developmental histories as part of the ASD assessment pathway.

As a longstanding and highly regarded member of the team, Ben is never short of compliments from his patients, colleagues, and peers. It is no surprise that his services have been commissioned by both NHS Trusts and professional clinical networks to provide training on neurodiversity to its members.

Ben Jefferson. I found him so kind, genuine, sensitive to me and my needs. He made a highly challenging experience and outcome absolutely manageable. Thank you.

Ben was lovely and really did try to get my daughter to participate even when she didn’t want to.

Ben Jefferson was an amazing therapist that we met at the clinic in Guildford.

They made me feel extremely validated, were able to ask questions in the way I was able to understand, and were kind even when I went off on rogue tangents. I felt very listened to and that my input, and that of my informants, was valued throughout the process.
