Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

 If your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), getting a diagnosis can be a positive thing. It is often a first, and necessary step to getting your child the supports and services they need to flourish. An assessment is comprised of several components:

  • An interview is conducted to obtain early history as well as presenting concerns. Information is collected on an ongoing basis throughout the assessment process.
  • Tests that screen for ASD will be used. Tests that explore a child’s cognitive functioning, including strengths and weaknesses may also be administered.
  • The examiner will spend time playing with the child to look for engagement, attention, imitation and play skills.
  • Review of any pertinent medical or developmental information is also required.
  • A report will be written that will include a diagnosis, if appropriate, and will include recommendations for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI).
  • A feedback session is arranged once all the necessary information has been obtained and at that time findings will be given.
