Assessments
Our Assessment Process
Our assessment process is designed for adults, using formal assessment tools and clinical observation to ensure that clients receive a thorough, accurate, and respectful evaluation. All of our assessments are structured across three sessions.
1. Detailed Initial Consultation
The assessment process begins with an in-depth consultation where our psychologist learns about your background, experiences, strengths, and challenges.
2. Comprehensive Evaluation
A range of evidence-based tools, including structured interviews and observational assessments are used to evaluate traits associated with autism in adults.
3. Detailed Feedback and Practical Guidance
Upon completing your assessment, a detailed report will be provided. In the feedback session, your results will be explained in accessible language and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your results.This report is designed to give you clarity about your experiences, along with tailored recommendations.
