Assessments and Appointments

Your child/young person may be on the waiting list for an assessment for possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The wait for an assessment can be very long and we know this can be a difficult and frustrating time for your child and your family. We have provided information on the assessment process for autism along with information about attending appointments when you are sent an invitation.
