I specialise exclusively in autism assessment and diagnosis — with options to suit every family's needs and circumstances.
A comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluation — the speech pathology component of a full assessment. Aligned with DSM-5-TR criteria, sessions can take place across two visits or on the same day. Assessments are conducted where your child feels most at ease — home, daycare or school. The clinical interview can be completed via telehealth.
Some families prefer — or require — a full multidisciplinary autism assessment involving both a speech pathologist and a psychologist. On request, I can collaborate with trusted psychologist colleagues from the Western Australian Autism Diagnostic Forum to deliver a complete team-based assessment.
Every assessment includes a detailed written report. I write clearly and in plain language — because a good report opens doors. Reports identify your child's strengths, areas of support, and specific recommendations to help families, schools and services understand and support your child effectively.
If you're a health professional or educator who has identified concerns about a child's social communication or behaviour, I make the referral process as simple as possible.
I accept referrals directly — no lengthy forms required. A brief letter or referral note outlining your concerns is sufficient. I'll take it from there and keep you informed throughout the process.
