Understanding your child's developmental profile can help you make informed decisions about the support they may need. HealG A Child Clini-ic offers an online autism assessment process to help parents understand developmental characteristics relating to social communication, interaction, behaviour and everyday functioning.

Overview

Understand Your Child's Developmental Profile

Autism spectrum characteristics can present differently in different children. Some children may experience differences in social communication or interaction, while others may show repetitive behaviours, focused interests or differences in sensory responses. A structured assessment can help bring together information about the child's developmental history, behaviour and everyday functioning.
