Autism Assessment
A Couple of important things:
A detailed report outlining how criteria are met, the assessments used, and in-depth insights is provided as part of this package. So, this is ideal for those applying for accommodations, funding, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.If additional time is needed due to complexity, we will provide an updated quote before proceeding.We cannot guarantee that an Autism assessment report alone will provide enough information about the NDIS functional domains. Often a Functional Capacity Assessment is required for NDIS applications in addition to the diagnostic report. This is generally provided by an OT and it can be a good idea to place your name on a waitlist whilst the assessments are happening due to OT wait time.You can pay privately for your assessment
Private health fund rebates may be available depending on your provider, level of cover, and assessor.
You may be able to use your NDIS funding to pay for an assessment, depending on your plan goals. If you are plan-managed, please check with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager to see if your assessment can be covered.
If you are under 25, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for your Autism assessment with a referral from a paediatrician or psychiatrist (unfortunately GP referrals are not eligible).
What We Offer
Step 1: Booking an appointment
Our neuro-affirming Autism assessments consist of 3-4 hours of interview time.
Step 2: Interview
In your appointment, we will talk about your possible Autistic traits using interview tools (ADI-R/MIGDAS). We will discuss Autistic traits in both adulthood and childhood. For adults, you are welcome to bring a support person who knows you well. For young people, this meeting is generally for the parents or carers so we understand the reasons for the referral and what would be helpful for you.
Step 3: Questionnaires
You will be asked to complete online questionnaires (CARS) which help provide a comprehensive picture of your neurodivergence.
Step 4: An observation for young people can be beneficial to understand how the characteristics identified play out in real time.
Step 5: After your assessment is complete, you will have a report and a 1 hour feedback session with your assessor. They will go through the assessment findings with you.
This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have and understand your brain a little more including any strengths that may be present.-
