Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment Team @ KidsAbility

What can I expect? A Client Support Assistant will provide parents-caregivers, the teacher and-or child care providers checklists to complete and return, in order to book your appointments. Most appointments will be on Thursday or Friday. Assessments are completed both in person or virtually. At the first appointment, you will participate in an interview with the team while your child participates and is observed in an open play activity. Then your child will be formally assessed for one hour by the pediatrician and team. At the second appointment, parents-caregivers will return without the child for a 45-minute feedback session with the team, a chance to discuss the assessment results. Please note, Some children may receive their assessment and feedback in one appointment. What’s next? The Pediatrician will provide you with a diagnostic letter and support any service funding and applications that require her input. You will meet with a Social Worker and together plan next steps, exploring services and helpful resources for both you and your family, and your child.
