Autism Assessment
Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, is a neurological condition affecting the development of social, behavioural, cognitive, and communication/language skills in children. Our autism assessment consists of a document review, clinical interview, behavioural observation, and a battery of formal psychological test measures to provide thorough background, diagnosis, and treatment plan recommendations. Each assessment will be tailored to meet your or your child's/adolescent's needs.

Assessment Process
The assessment begins with intake information and an interview. It is helpful if you can provide a copy of any prior assessment results, a recent report card, and a writing sample. The full assessment takes approximately 8 to 10 hours and will be booked at your convenience over 2 or 3 days.
Two weeks following the last date of testing, you are invited to a results visit in which all testing results and diagnoses will be explained to you. A summary report will also be provided for you to take to your school or physician.
Please arrive for testing well prepared:
- Intake forms must be completed before the initial interview is conducted.
- Ensure that you or your child/adolescent have had a good night’s sleep and eaten breakfast.
- Breaks are provided as needed. Please bring a drink and snack to maintain your energy level for optimal performance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
