Autism Assessments
We are able to complete a single disciplinary or a multidisciplinary assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
With a referral from your Paediatrician, you can see a Psychologist and a Speech Pathologist for an assessment.
For group intervention and social-skill building, please check our group page here.
For a Psychological assessment, we will conduct four sessions:
A cognitive assessment including an IQ test to determine the child’s cognitive profile (WPPSI-IV or WISC-V). The WISC-V is administered with an iPad.
A full developmental history (Autism Diagnostic Interview ADI-R)
A report and feedback session
For a Speech Pathology assessment, we will conduct:
A full speech and language assessment (CELF-IV)
A play and interaction assessment (Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale ADOS-II)
A pragmatic language assessment
A report and feedback session
A total of 4 assessment sessions are able to be claimed through Medicare for a rebate of $84.80 per session.
The amount and type of assessment your child will require is dependent on their age and any previous assessments that have been completed
