Autism Assessments
Bairnsdale Psychology is a mobile assessment service. To ensure children feel as comfortable as possible, assessments are conducted at their school with the cooperation of their parents and the school.
Neurodevelopmental assessments are used to aid in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Findings from these assessments can help parents and teachers understand a child’s behaviours better and learn way to support them within different environments.
We are now taking referrals for autism assessments.
Our autism assessment tools are used to:
Assess and if appropriate diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Help parents, teachers and other involved professionals understand a child's behaviours.
