Autism Assessments

Assessment includes the Autism Diagnostic Interview - Revised (ADI-R) conducted by video call with parents/caregivers, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2nd Edition (ADOS-2) which is a face to face assessment with the child or young person, review of any previous reports, a developmental interview with parents/caregivers, an interview with the young person where appropriate, review of feedback from school and liaison with other professionals where relevant. Reports feature recommendations for service provision as well as educational recommendations regarding school placements, Special Needs Assistant support, etc. Price includes a feedback session via video call with parents/caregivers. These assessments follow best practice guidelines and will be accepted the HSE and/or Department of Education.
