Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

1. Delayed speech or language development

2. Difficulties with social interaction

3. Challenges understanding social cues

4. Repetitive behaviours or routines

5. Sensory sensitivities

6. Restricted interests

7. Difficulty adapting to change

8. Emotional or behavioural challenges

ASD Assessment

An ASD Assessment involves a detailed review of your child’s developmental history, behaviour, communication abilities, and social functioning. We work closely with parents and caregivers to gather valuable information about your child’s everyday experiences and developmental milestones.

01

Developmental history review

Parent and caregiver interviews help understand a child’s behavior, needs, and development from a home perspective.

02

Parent and caregiver interviews

Developmental and medical history review helps understand a child’s growth, milestones, and past health conditions in brief.

03

Clinical observations

Behavioural assessments help evaluate a child’s actions, emotions, and social interactions to identify any concerns or patterns.

04

Behavioural assessments

School and teacher feedback provides insights into a child’s academic performance, behavior, and learning progress in the classroom.

05

Communication and social interaction evaluation

Clinical observations involve directly observing a child’s behavior, interaction, and responses in a structured setting to assess functioning.

06

Review of educational and therapy reports

Screening for co-existing developmental or learning concerns helps identify additional difficulties affecting development or learning.

1. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

2. Learning difficulties

3. Anxiety and emotional concerns

4. Developmental delays

5. Behavioural challenges

6. Sleep difficulties
