Autism Assessments
A Strengths-Based Approach
We believe that understanding your child’s neurotype should be an empowering experience. Our autism assessments are thorough, clinical, and neurodiversity-affirming. We move beyond simple checklists to provide you with deep insight into your child’s strengths, needs, and how they experience the world around them.
Our multi-disciplinary team is highly experienced and utilises gold-standard diagnostic protocols to ensure you receive a robust and recognised diagnosis.
How the Assessment Works
We gather evidence from multiple sources to ensure we see the “whole child,” not just a snapshot in a clinical room.
- Clinical Observation (ADOS-2): Your child will attend a face-to-face session using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. This is an engaging session involving play, conversation, and natural activities to explore how they communicate, interact, and use their imagination.
- Developmental History (ADI-R): Parents or carers complete a detailed online interview called the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. This allows us to gather essential history regarding early milestones, behaviour patterns, and social development.
- School & Educational Context: We speak directly with school staff who know your child well. This helps us understand how your child presents and communicates in an educational setting compared to home.
- Sensory Screening: You will be invited to complete questionnaires, such as the Sensory Processing Measure 2 (SPM-2). This helps us map out your child’s sensory profile and understand how they process different environments.
After the Assessment
Once the information gathering is complete, our team collates the findings into a comprehensive diagnostic report.
- Detailed Reporting: you’ll receive a full report including a diagnosis (if applicable), a summary of strengths, and clear, actionable recommendations.
- Parent Feedback Call: we schedule a dedicated time to walk you through the findings, answer your questions, and support you in planning the next steps.
- Child-Friendly Feedback: we provide a feedback session designed specifically for your child. This helps them understand the outcome in a positive, safe, and age-appropriate way.
