ADOS Assessments
Assessment for Autism
QPAH offers ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) assessments, which accurately assess and diagnose autism spectrum disorders across age, developmental level, and language skills. ADOS assessments are completed by trained speech pathologists, who will collaborate with your child’s Paediatrician to attain an accurate diagnosis.
Our Speech Pathologists additionally assess language impairments in children and commonly support children with Autism throughout childhood and beyond.
OUR APPROACH
Assessments delivered with care
Every ADOS assessment at QPAH is delivered with care, clarity, and collaboration. We involve families, carers, and other health professionals as needed, and provide clear reports and practical recommendations. Our goal is always to translate ADOS findings into meaningful strategies and supports that improve everyday life.
