Understanding your child’s communication, social interaction, behaviour and individual way of experiencing the world.
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that can affect communication, social interaction and the way a child experiences the world. Every autistic child is different, with their own pattern of strengths and difficulties.
An assessment may be helpful when developmental or behavioural differences are affecting everyday life, or when concerns have been raised by parents, school, nursery or professionals. Assessment can help clarify the child’s profile, strengths and support needs.
Communication & Social Interaction — differences in back-and-forth conversation, understanding social situations, friendships or the way a child communicates and interacts.
Routines, Interests & Behaviour — focused interests, preference for routines, difficulty with change, or repetitive movements and behaviours.
Sensory Differences — differences in responses to sound, light, touch, smell, textures or foods, or sensory-seeking behaviours.
Everyday Life — differences may become more noticeable at nursery or school, in social situations, during changes, or as expectations increase.
