“Discover clarity and understanding with our Autism Assessments.”
At Berry Collective Psychology, we understand that each individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has unique strengths and support needs. That's why we offer diagnostic assessments and review assessments for individuals aged 3 years and over. We will tailor the assessment to suit your needs, and help you find the understanding you deserve.
COMMON REASONS TO DO AN AUTISM ASSESSMENT
- A professional has recommended we seek an assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- My child has some repetitive behaviours and has significant difficulty with change.
- My child has a lot of trouble making and keeping friends.
- My child has difficulty communicating about their emotions.
- My child has Autism, and we require a review for NDIS purposes.
How it works
The assessment utilises several assessment tools to determine a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and current strengths and needs. The assessment tools include: Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales (VABS-3) and Conners Comprehensive Behaviour Rating Scales (CBRS).
