Autism Assessment | Children, Adolescents and Young Adults

Enlightened Minds Psychology Assessments provides comprehensive Autism Spectrum Disorder assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. Depending on your child’s individual needs, assessments may include:

  • Parent intake appointment (1 hour appointment)

  • Cognitive assessment (1 hour 30 minute appointment)

  • Autism assessment (1 hour appointment - interview or play based)

  • Questionnaires

  • School observation (1 hour appointment)

  • Parent feedback appointment (1 hour appointment)

  • Comprehensive report

Autism Spectrum Disorder assessments are conducted at our practice in Wantirna. We also offer a mobile service, allowing assessments to take place at your child’s school in nearby suburbs such as Bayswater, Knox, Ringwood, and Heathmont. We’re also happy to visit schools in more distant suburbs; however, a travel fee may apply.

An Autism Spectrum Disorder assessment is an exploration of Autism Spectrum Disorder features only and does not provide your child with a diagnosis. A Paediatrician or Psychiatrist is required to formalise a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder with the information provided from the assessment.

You do not need a referral to book an Autism Spectrum Disorder assessment, but if you have one, feel free to share it with us. Medicare rebates may be available for parts of the assessment if referred by a Paediatrician. Unfortunately, Medicare rebates are not available if referred by a GP.

A Paediatrician does not need to be involved to begin the process. However, if your child is already seeing a Paediatrician, we are happy to collaborate and work together towards a shared understanding.
