Autism
Assessment
in Adelaide

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others. At Conscious Healthcare SA, our Autism Assessments are designed to determine if an individual meets the criteria for ASD. Understanding these aspects is crucial for receiving appropriate support and interventions.

Our Autism Assessments are conducted by experienced psychologists and are overseen by clinical psychologists. These assessments are essential for families seeking clarity about ASD and potentially obtaining NDIS funding for necessary supports.

Initial Consultation:

• The process begins with a pre-assessment interview, which can be conducted over the phone or in-person, typically scheduled a day or a few days before the main assessment. This initial consultation helps our team understand the individual's background and specific needs.

Assessment Day:

• The assessment is carried out in our clinic, lasting about 2.5 to 3 hours. It includes a combination of direct observation and interactive activities with the child, tailored to gauge a range of developmental areas relevant to ASD.

Post-Assessment:

• After completing the assessment, our psychologist compiles a comprehensive report detailing the findings and recommendations. This report is usually ready within 2 to 3 weeks, provided there are no delays in gathering additional information.

Each Autism Assessment at Conscious Healthcare SA includes:

• A two-hour in-person meeting with the parent or guardian.
• 1.5 hours of observation with the child.
• Coordination with the child’s school to gather pertinent information (30 mins).
• Extensive report writing (7 hours).
• A final discussion to go over the insights and recommendations from the report (30 mins to 1 hour).

Our Autism Assessments provide detailed insights into a child's developmental status, offering critical information that can guide future educational and therapeutic interventions. These assessments are particularly beneficial for:

• Accurately diagnosing ASD, which is crucial for accessing tailored educational programmes and therapies.

• Securing NDIS funding to cover necessary interventions and supports.

The cost of an Autism Assessment is $2,000. While this service is not commonly funded through NDIS, clients may claim a portion of the cost through Medicare rebates where applicable.

What should I bring to the assessment?

• Please bring any previous assessments or reports related to your child’s development.

How do I prepare my child for the assessment?

• Ensure your child has a good night's rest before the assessment and bring any comfort items they may need to feel secure.
