Autism assessments help determine whether an individual's strengths, support needs, and developmental history are consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our comprehensive private autism assessments are available for individuals aged 6–25 who may be experiencing characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The assessment may include:
Comprehensive clinical interviews with caregivers and/or the individual
Review of developmental, medical, educational, and social history
Autism-specific assessment measures (e.g., ADOS-2, ADI-R)
Assessment of adaptive functioning (everyday skills)
Questionnaires and standardized rating scales
Direct observation and structured assessment activities
Feedback session to review assessment findings and discuss next steps
A comprehensive written report outlining results, diagnosis (when applicable), and individualized recommendations
The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the individual's needs and provide practical recommendations for home, school, work, and community settings.
Our private autism assessments follow the British Columbia Standards and Guidelines for Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. For children and youth under 19 who receive an ASD diagnosis, we complete the Non-BCAAN Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder Form required by the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) to support access to autism-related funding and services.
