Autism assessments
Our assessments meet the Gold Standard as indicated by NICE guidelines and are Consultant led. They :
- are Multi-disciplinary - clinical psychology, with psychiatry and/or paediatric involvement where appropriate
- utilise standardised screening such as DAWBA / AAA from individuals, parents / significant others and school or workplace
- utilise standardised assessment questionnaires and well-evidenced tools such as Conners 4 / CAARS from individuals, parents / significant others and school or workplace
- utilise 3DI or ADI-R where appropriate
- use ADOS
- are face to face
- involve a Multi-disciplinary Clinical Team discussion to consider the differential diagnosis
- include a comprehensive report that clearly explains all of our steps and reasons for any decisions we make.
