Autism Assessment Adelaide

What Is Autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), also known as Autism, is characterised by differences in communication, thinking styles and behaviours. At Chat Well, we understand the importance of early identification and intervention for individuals with autism.
Reasons For Having An Autism Assessment
An autism assessment in Adelaide may be recommended by an educator or health professional who supports your child. A diagnosis can help:
-
support self-identity and wellbeing of your child
-
develop awareness and acceptance of their unique differences
-
access the right services and supports
-
access funding for therapy and services, if eligible.
What The Assessment Looks Like
At Chat Well, the process for our private autism assessment in Adelaide is comprehensive and individualised. Our team, which includes an Autism SA accredited Speech Pathologist and Psychologist, gathers information from various sources involved in your child's care. This includes a parent/caregiver interview with one clinician and a play based observation/interview with your child conducted by the other clinician.
Our autism assessment sessions are conducted at our Greenacres clinic and typically last 1-1.5 hours. After the assessment, our experienced Speech Pathologist and Psychologist will review the findings to determine whether your child meets the recognised criteria for an autism diagnosis. In some cases, further information may be required for an accurate diagnosis.
Following the private autism assessment in Adelaide, we ensure you stay informed throughout the process. You will be invited back later that day for a feedback session, during which we will discuss the findings, outcome and recommendations. An interim report will be provided, with a formal, comprehensive written report delivered approximately 6-8 weeks later.
