Autism assessment for Children (aged 2+) & Adults
Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that influences communication, social understanding, thinking patterns, sensory experiences, and patterns of interest. Every autistic person has a unique profile.
Why Assessments Matter
Assessments support a deeper understanding of strengths, needs, and preferences. This helps create environments that are predictable, supportive, and affirming. It also supports identity, belonging, and access to appropriate services, while reducing the risk of later mental health difficulties.
Autism assessment approach
We take a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach, with extensive experience recognising diverse autistic presentations, including those shaped by masking, gender differences, and cultural context. We carefully consider overlapping factors such as anxiety or trauma to avoid misinterpretation. Our flexible model, including the option of home-based assessment, supports comfort and allows us to observe more natural interactions and behaviours.
Potential measures
This list is not exhaustive. Assessment measures are selected based on each individual's presentation, age, goals, and assessment needs.
Fees
Standalone fee: $1,800
When autism assessments are completed alongside ADHD, cognitive (IQ), and/or learning assessments, reduced fees apply to reflect the overlap between assessment components.
