Autism Assessment
Autism assessment plays an important role in diagnosing and assisting children and adults with autism. An assessment will provide you with a comprehensive report (including evidence-based recommendations), a feedback session that deconstructs the assessment report in an easy to understand way, and ongoing guidance and support with your next steps.
