Experienced in Identifying Autism Spectrum Disorders

Practitioners at RMPS are unique in that we have experience in identifying and assessing for Autism Spectrum Disorders in individuals from ages 2-35 (and beyond!). We always seek to streamline our assessment process to the extent possible by using already available data so that our clients are not doing more assessment or spending more time or money than they need to. For these reasons, Autism Assessment at RMPS is not a’ one size fits all’ process.

  • Standardized Questionnaires completed by School/Parents/Others regarding behaviour, social skills, social pragmatics, adaptive skills, and sensory processing.

At the end of the assessment process, results are reviewed with the client and/or their family. Recommendations are made for next steps which may include suggestions for treatment, how their school can best support the child, where families can get information and access programs or supports, strategies that can be implemented, or what kind of therapies are recommended.
