Psychology, counselling and assessments across southern Adelaide and the Fleurieu
Autism assessment, and combined Autism and ADHD assessment, for children, adolescents and adults at our three practices.
An autism assessment can help children, adolescents and adults better understand differences in social communication, interaction, behaviour and sensory experiences.
Our assessments draw on information from multiple sources and may include clinical interviews, developmental history, standardised assessment tools and information from parents, partners, teachers or other relevant people where appropriate.
Assessment findings are considered against current diagnostic criteria and discussed with the individual and/or family. Where appropriate, a comprehensive written report is provided outlining the findings, diagnostic conclusions and practical recommendations for support.
Autism assessments can be combined with an ADHD assessment where clinically indicated.
Your psychologist discusses your concerns and the purpose of assessment, and confirms whether an autism assessment is appropriate.
The number and length of appointments depends on the type of assessment and the person being assessed. Your psychologist will confirm what is required at the initial discussion.
You receive a detailed written report with findings and practical, evidence-informed recommendations to support intervention planning, educational support and access to services.
You can contact us directly to discuss an assessment. Referrals from GPs, paediatricians, schools and other services are also welcome.
Assessment fees depend on the type of assessment. Please contact our reception team at Christies Beach on (08) 8326 4354 to discuss fees and availability.
Several of our psychologists work in assessment. Our reception team will match your enquiry to an appropriate clinician.
