Modules For Autism Diagnosis & Assessment
Our assessment process is structured into several key modules to ensure a thorough evaluation:
Step 1: Developmental History We begin by gathering developmental history and behavioral observations using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) system. This step provides insights into the child’s behavior and developmental milestones.
Step 2: Observation & Communication Using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), we conduct structured assessments of communication skills, social interactions, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. This helps us understand how the child communicates, interacts, and behaves in various contexts.
Step 3: Educational Overview Collaborating with educators, we assess academic performance, attendance, and behavior using tools such as the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID), Stanford-Binet 5 assessment, and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).
Step 4: Adaptive Function Assessment of adaptive functioning is conducted using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS 2 & 3). This evaluates the child’s daily living skills, communication abilities, and socialization skills, providing essential information about their functional capabilities.
Conclusion: Final Diagnosis Combining information from these modules, our experts formulate a comprehensive assessment report that includes developmental history, behavioral observations, and adaptive functioning assessments. This report serves as the basis for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and tailoring intervention plans to meet the child’s specific needs.
Intervention Plan Following diagnosis, we develop personalized intervention plans that may include educational strategies, physiotherapy, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, and support from allied health professionals. Our goal is to empower children and their families with the tools and support needed to thrive.
At the Irish Resilience Clinic, we prioritize compassionate care, timely assessments, and comprehensive support for individuals seeking autism diagnosis. Contact us today to schedule an assessment and take the first step toward understanding and supporting your child’s unique strengths and challenges.
