AUTISM Assessments
When you notice differences in how your child communicates, plays, or connects with others—or you’re seeing unique behavioural patterns or interests—an autism assessment can offer clarity and direction.
Gaining insight early can help you access the right supports and create an environment where your child can thrive at home, in school, and within the community.
An assessment may be helpful if your child:
Struggles to connect with peers or prefers solitary play
Has intense interests, routines, or rituals and becomes distressed when they’re disrupted
Shows differences in communication, such as delayed speech, limited eye contact, or relying on gestures instead of words
Is highly sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, or changes in routine
Has difficulty expressing emotions or understanding how others feel
