Are all private assessments acceptable to the HSE? I am aware of people who obtained private assessments from qualified individuals and who were then told that these were not acceptable to the HSE. Can the witnesses give some guidance to parents on whether a private assessment for which they may have to beg, borrow or steal the money will be acceptable to the HSE and will allow them to access the other services and supports that are needed?
