Autism Assessments
To formally identify and diagnose Autism, I use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) alongside a comprehensive evaluation by myself and a colleague.
This includes:
- An extensive developmental interview with parents/spouses/carers
- Contact with school teachers and class observation (for children)
- Review of any professional reports pertaining to the person
- Screening assessments
- ADOS diagnostic interview (ADOS-2)
- Autism Diagnostic interview (revised) (ADI-R)
- A comprehensive report with recommendations
- Feedback session
- Additional support sessions following assessment are also offered (charged for separately)
