| Autism Assessment | We use a variety of assessment tools to diagnose Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD), and Asperger Syndrome. It is important to cover a few areas when testing for these disorders in order to make sure that the diagnosis given is accurate. ADOS is an assessment designed to diagnose Autism. The ADOS, or Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (WPS, 1999), is a standardized, semi-structured assessment of communication, social interaction and play for individuals who may have autism or other pervasive developmental disorders. The ADOS assessment consists of standardized activities that allow the examiner to observe behaviors identified as important in children with autism spectrum disorders. Structured activities and materials provide standard contexts in which social interactions, communication and other behaviors relevant to pervasive developmental disorders are likely to appear. We provide ADOS assessment to children, as part of an Autism assessment package which includes IQ testing and/or adaptive behavior scale. The ADOS assessment allows us to diagnose autism, and to indicate where on the spectrum the child is. Such diagnosis is useful for: • Placement in autism-specific schools • Establish baseline for intervention (e.g. repeating the ADOS test after intervention can show improvement along the spectrum) Eliminate or confirm autism for suspected cases (especially for shy children or children with verbal difficulties) | Psychologist: $1300 Senior Psychologist: $1800 |
| Development Delay | Infants respond to parental touch and smell. They can search their mothers’ faces and turn to look in the direction of their caregivers’ voice. Infants also begin cooing and babbling at a certain age. What happens when your baby does not seem to do reaching for you or responding to sound? An assessment designed to evaluate developmental delays is ideal if you are considering there may be some problems at a young age. | $1200 |
| Diagnostic Assessment | The Diagnostic Assessment is designed to specific tailor the tests to questions or concerns you may have about your child. There may be some observable concerns but it is difficult to fully comprehend what is happening. This assessment helps to identify problem areas and diagnose your child based on international criteria. | Senior Psychologist: $1800 |

Hi, my daughter was diagnosed as having mild selective mutism with social anxiety. As her grades in school is going down, we let her undergo iq testing. Her result indicated the following:
vci – low average
pri – high average
wmi – average

My question is, do you have specific programme to develop her vci and psi?
