When the question is diagnostic<\/p>\n\n

Psychological Assessment for Autism<\/h2>\nAutism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition that can affect communication, social interaction and behaviour in different ways. Questions about attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities can overlap with the concerns that prompt an autism enquiry. Assessment helps clarify which explanation and recommendations the information supports.\n\nQxplore\u2019s assessment service is provided by a Registered Psychologist or Psychological Associate and includes psychoeducational assessment and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). The clinician explains the assessment plan and considers the child\u2019s or young person\u2019s history, experiences and test findings together.\n\nThe report can describe communication and language, social and daily living skills, educational needs and behaviours requiring support. Findings may inform further services, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or school accommodations, in discussion with the receiving school or organization.\n\nRead about autism assessments<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n

From questions to a practical plan<\/p>\n\n

Behavioural and Skills Assessment<\/h2>\nChildren and youth with an autism diagnosis, or with skill, behavioural and learning difficulties, may need an assessment focused on everyday functioning and support. A Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) identifies the relevant behaviours and skills and develops a behavioural service plan, program and budget.\n\n<\/div>\n
\n

Brief Assessment<\/h3>\nA focused assessment may be appropriate when the needs are straightforward and a specific program can be planned.\n\nExamples include a particular living skill, parent coaching, emotional needs, life skills, peer socialization or community integration.\n\n<\/article>
\n

Comprehensive Assessment<\/h3>\nMore complex needs may call for a comprehensive behavioural and skills assessment to identify the behaviours requiring support and the specific skills to develop.\n\nThe findings provide a fuller picture for planning a coordinated support program.\n\n<\/article><\/div>\n
