Welcome to Autism Assessments Perth

A diagnostic assessment for Autism may have been recommended for your child because they are experiencing difficulties with communication, social skills and behaviour. At Autism Assessments Perth we offer an unpressured and nurturing family home environment, where your child will feel relaxed and confident throughout the assessment process. This will enable us to gain a clear picture of their abilities and provide information about their strengths and support needs.

Multi-Disciplinary Team

Our team is comprised of Linda Orton, a highly qualified speech pathologist who has a specific interest in children with disabilities, Dr Emma Miller, a clinical psychologist who has a special focus on autism spectrum disorder and Dr Gail Simcock, a clinical psychologist with experience in child and adolescent mental health and childhood neurological issues. We follow the “gold standard” of assessment for Autism by addressing the DSM-5 criteria using a multi-disciplinary team approach and diagnostic assessment tools, which may include the Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum (MIGDAS-2), the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2) and/or a clinical interview based on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. Together we provide detailed feedback regarding the outcome of your child’s autism assessment, identified needs and any recommended interventions, along with a fast and reliable provision of the written report.
