Expert Autism Assessments & Support for Your Child

Our experienced occupational therapists specialise in autism assessments and tailored therapies for children.
Using gold-standard tools like ADOS-2 and MIGDAS-2, we provide a detailed, accurate understanding of your child’s needs.

From diagnosis to ongoing care, we work closely with families to create personalised therapy plans that support your child’s growth, confidence, and everyday success.

Why Choose an OT for ADOS Assessment?

OTs look beyond symptoms to understand how autism may affect daily life—emotionally, socially, and physically.

We help families understand what a diagnosis means in everyday terms—at home, at school, and in routines.

Our reports don’t stop at diagnosis. You’ll get practical strategies that suit your child’s unique strengths and challenges.

We work closely with pediatricians to ensure a smooth transition from assessment to diagnosis and next steps.

Our Process

1. Parent Consultation

We begin with a one-on-one session to understand your child’s development, behaviours, and any concerns you may have.

2. ADOS Assessment Session

A structured, play-based session with your child (and you), guided by our trained Occupational Therapist.

3. Scoring & Review

Our OT carefully analyses the results, focusing on how your child experiences day-to-day life—socially, emotionally, and functionally.

4. Report, Feedback & Diagnosis Support

You’ll get a clear report with tailored recommendations, shared with your GP or pediatrician to help fast-track a diagnosis.

Why Start with an OT While Waiting for a Pediatrician?

Wait times to see a pediatrician after a GP referral can be 6 to 18 months. That’s a long time to wait—especially when you’re looking for answers.

The good news? You don’t have to wait to begin the process. 

An OT can conduct the ADOS assessment during this time, so by the time your pediatrician appointment arrives, the detailed report is ready to go.
This means:

  • A faster path to diagnosis

  • Less stress and fewer delays

  • Earlier access to support services (including NDIS)

Is the Assessment Covered by Insurance or Medicare?

Medicare Rebates
If you have a referral under the Helping Children with Autism or Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate on parts of the assessment.

Private Health Insurance
Many health funds offer rebates for Occupational Therapy services. It’s best to check your policy’s extras cover.

NDIS
If your child has NDIS funding (self- or plan-managed), this assessment may be covered under Capacity Building supports. We’ll provide all the paperwork needed.
