Child Autism assessment at CADS Autism
At CADS Autism, we provide comprehensive, child-centred autism assessments designed to identify each child’s unique strengths, differences, and support needs.
A comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment
Our autism assessments bring together a detailed developmental assessment, direct observation using the ADOS-2, information from your child's school or setting where appropriate, and multidisciplinary clinical review. This helps us build a detailed understanding of your child's individual profile rather than considering one assessment result in isolation.

-
Detailed developmental history using the ADI-R/ACIA
-
ADOS-2 assessment
-
School or nursery information
-
Review by the multidisciplinary team
