Full diagnostic pathway

Unlike other providers that may focus solely on ADOS assessments, the specialists we connect you with offer a complete diagnostic pathway supported by a Specialist Trained Community Paediatrician. Their service includes not only the assessment but also a tailored treatment plan, ensuring you receive expert guidance and ongoing support from start to finish.

This full pathway ensures a holistic approach to your child’s care, providing clarity, personalised recommendations, and the necessary follow-ups for long-term well-being.

Consultation

A Specialist will meet with you to gather information about your child’s developmental history, behaviors, and challenges.

Observations

A Specialist will observe your child’s behavior, communication, and social interactions, either in a clinical setting or in their natural environment.

Communication

A Specialist will assess your child’s speech and language skills, as well as their social skills and ability to interact with others.

Treatment Types

  • Behavioural therapy – Behaviour therapy focuses on identifying what happens preceding and proceeding a certain behavioural pattern. For the treatment of ASD it has lot’s of evidence supporting the efficacy of managing patients.
  • Developmental therapy – Development therapy focusses on specific developmental skills such as motor or language skills. This therapy is often combined with behavioural and speech and language therapy.

  • Social-Relational – Social-relational treatments are centred around building emotional bonds and improving the social skills which individuals have. This treatment often involved parents or peers.

  • Pharmacological – Unfortunately there are no medications that can effectively treat the core symptoms associated with ASD. There are however medication that can help manage some self-harming behaviours such as head banging or hand biting or even high energy levels.
  • Psychological – Cognitive behaviour therapy can help with a variety of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. It has also been shown to help those suffering from ASD.
