Our clinic provides psychologist-led, multidisciplinary autism assessments that offer a compassionate and thorough understanding of your child's needs. We are dedicated to supporting your family through every stage of the diagnostic journey with professional care and clinical expertise.
Our Approach
Clinical Path for Families
Our autism assessments are led by senior clinical psychologists, utilising gold-standard diagnostic tools including the ADOS-2 and ADI-R to ensure the highest degree of clinical accuracy and care. We strictly adhere to HSE aligned protocols and best-practice guidelines for multidisciplinary evaluations, providing a robust clinical framework for your family's journey.
Everything we do is child and family centred. We work at a careful, respectful pace that never rushes your child, ensuring they feel comfortable and understood. This gentle approach allows us to gather the most authentic clinical insights, empowering your family with meaningful outcomes and clear paths forward in home and school environments.
The Assessment Pathway
01
Initial consultation and planning
We begin with a focused clinical meeting to explore your concerns and set precise developmental goals to ensure our assessment is perfectly tailored to your child's journey.
02
Clinical assessment sessions
A detailed discussion where we explore your child's past milestones and early growth using professional tools, providing us with a vital context for their unique personality.
03
MDT child observation (ADOS-2)
Within a calm and safe play environment, our psychologists engage directly with your child to better understand their social communication style and interactive strengths.
04
Cognitive testing (where appropriate)
When beneficial, we perform targeted cognitive screenings to identify specific learning needs, ensuring we have a complete picture of how your child processes the world.
05
School team liaison and learning context
To understand your child in their daily life, we review teacher questionnaires and school reports, and may conduct school or educational setting observations as needed.
06
Feedback session and pathway to support
We provide a thorough diagnostic report and a collaborative feedback session, giving you a clear roadmap and practical recommendations to support your child's bright future.
