An autism and developmental assessment is a structured evaluation of a child's communication, social interaction, behaviour, and motor and sensory skills, combining direct observation, standardised tools and a detailed conversation with parents.
It is recommended for children showing possible early signs of autism or referred for a developmental review. The aim is a clear picture of your child's strengths and needs, and clear next steps.
What the assessment involves
- Assessments are led by a qualified professional using recognised, standardised tools.
- We gather a detailed developmental history directly from parents.
- Results are explained in a dedicated feedback session, in plain language, with clear next steps.
- Recommendations cover which therapies may help and how to start.
