We Care Support provides comprehensive, sensitive Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD] assessments to both children and adults. Understanding Autism is the first vital step toward care and support in helping these individuals thrive. Our evidence-based approach ensures that there is an accurate diagnosis with actionable recommendations tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Why Consider an Autism/ASD Assessment?

Early and accurate diagnosis of autism ensures proper interventions and support services. Symptoms of ASD may be mild, moderate, or severe and include difficulties in communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. Some may appear early in childhood, whereas others might not become evident until later in life. A comprehensive evaluation can bring clarity to this and pave the way for effective treatment and support plans.

What to Expect During the Assessment Process

Our assessment process is designed to be thorough, inclusive, and sensitive to each individual’s needs:

1. Initial Consultation

We begin with a thorough intake session in order to get the background information, including developmental history, medical records, and input from caregivers, educators, or other professionals.

2. Diagnostic Evaluations

Our team uses a variety of tools and methods to ensure a comprehensive assessment:

  • Behavioral Observations: Direct observation of behavior under structured and unstructured conditions.
  • Standardized Tests: Utilizing evidence-based tools, such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R).
  • Developmental and Cognitive Tests: These tests help to learn what areas the individual might struggle in and what strengths they may have.

3. Collaborative Approach

We welcome any input provided by parents, caregivers, and educators, as their insight into the individual is very valuable in providing a full picture of the individual’s needs.

4. Comprehensive Report

Once the assessment is carried out, we give a report that includes the following in detail:

  • A clear diagnosis, when possible.
  • Insights into strengths and areas for growth.
  • Personalized suggestions on interventions, therapies, and support services.
