ASD (autism spectrum disorder) assessments at our Melton clinic are delivered by Mariam, one of our AHPRA-registered psychologists. We use an intake-first model and we work with children, adolescents and adults. We do not predict assessment outcomes or guarantee particular funding decisions. To book an intake appointment, call (03) 9746 6852 or book online.
The assessment process
If we agree at intake to proceed, the full assessment typically involves clinical interview, standardised observation tools where appropriate, validated questionnaires, supplementary information from family or school where consent allows, and a written report. The assessment spans multiple sessions across a number of weeks.
Children, adolescents and adults
- Children — usually with parental involvement through history and rating scales; school input often important with consent.
- Adolescents — we work directly with the adolescent, with parental and school input in proportion to the situation.
- Adults — we work directly with you, with optional input from a partner, family member or workplace.
What the report includes
- Reason for assessment and the process followed
- Summary of information gathered and interpretation
- Findings — what the assessment supports, what it doesn't, and limitations
- Practical recommendations for school, workplace, family or further clinical input where relevant
The report is yours. You can share it with your GP, school, employer or NDIS planner. We can also share it with named parties with your consent.
