Autism Assessments
We provide gold standard autism assessments using a multi-disciplinary approach with a Clinical Psychologist and Specialist Speech and Language Therapist.
We understand that parents often have many queries or are unsure of whether their child needs an autism assessment. Our 1 hour screening appointment is likely to be helpful in guiding this decision. This is a stand alone appointment and there is no pressure to then begin a full assessment.
