We provide best-practice neuro-affirmative autism diagnostic assessments for both children and adults. The assessment is multi-disciplinary, carried out by an HSE-validated clinical psychologist and a CORU-registered speech & language therapist (SLT).
We have expertise in assessing complex and contentious cases; and those where the traditional routes of assessment cause difficulty. This includes: women & girls with autistic spectrum conditions; adolescents and adults with co-occurring presentations; and children with complex developmental history or backgrounds.
Our assessments are in line with best practice guidelines and meet the criteria required by the HSE and the Department of Education. That is, we use the clinically recognized Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) in a face-to-face setting attended by both psychologist and SLT; followed by the Autism Diagnostic Interview - Revised (ADI-R) as an online meeting which makes it easier for multiple parents/carers to attend. We also obtain information from any educational placements and other professionals working with the client.
Our comprehensive written report includes practical recommendations. Whether the report identifies autism or not, we will support & guide you on your next steps.

Autism Diagnostic Assessment & Report - €1600
An assessment involves lots of different activities to stimulate the child while we observe their abilities. Assessment can be quite tiring, so we break often, have lots of treats, and try to make it fun. Afterwards, the observations of the child are discussed and analyzed by both the Psychologist and SLT.
The assessment tools that we use are clinically recognized. They provide standardised scores understood by teachers, HSE therapists, and other professionals working with your child.
Afterwards you will receive a written multidisciplinary report describing: your child's strengths and needs; assessment details; scores; and recommendations. This provides essential information to help you decide the best course of action for your child.
We will take time to talk through our findings in detail with you. Then we'll answer any questions you may have and recommend what action to take next. If you wish, we will discuss the findings with your child's teachers, HSE, and other healthcare providers.
A psychology assessment is a formal evaluation, using standardized best-practice tools, of cognitive skills, adaptive functioning (daily living skills) and behaviour. Cognitive skills assessed include verbal and non-verbal skills, memory, and processing speed. The results of the assessment will show your child's strengths, needs, and recommendations on how to support their learning. The duration of the assessment varies depending on the age of the child and how they progress through the activities.
We currently provide psychology assessments only to clients who already have a previous autism diagnosis and a require a review of their progress.
