Child Autism Assessment

Child Autism Assessment & Diagnosis

A child-centred, evidence-based autism assessment that considers development, communication, sensory experience and everyday life.

Overview

Our child autism pathway considers developmental history, communication, social interaction, sensory experiences and the child’s strengths and support needs.
We work with parents, carers and other relevant adults to build a clear picture and provide thoughtful feedback and practical recommendations.

Common reasons children are referred for assessment

Differences in social communication or interaction
Sensory sensitivities or unusual sensory experiences
A strong preference for routines or predictability
Focused interests or repetitive patterns of behaviour
Difficulty managing changes, transitions or uncertainty
Differences that affect school, friendships or everyday life
