A diagnostic assessment for autism may have been recommended for your child because they are experiencing difficulties with communication, social skills and behaviour. Or, you may just be questioning differences and wondering whether your child is perhaps neurodiverse in some way. Jasmine is able to help you regardless of whether you are at the start of this process and would just like further information, or if you are seeking a full diagnostic assessment for autism. Jasmine prefers to see children either at home or at school as part of the assessment process for many reasons; firstly, this provides an unpressured and nurturing environment, where your child will feel relaxed and confident throughout. It also enables Jasmine to gain a clear picture of their abilities and provide information about their strengths and support needs where it matters most.

Jasmine is a highly qualified and experienced speech pathologist who has been specialising in paediatric autism assessment & diagnosis for the past 8 years. She can complete “speech only” assessments or arrange to collaborate with close colleagues (and excellent psychologists) on the request of parents to complete the assessment in full (just ask!). Detailed feedback is provided in the form of a report and a chat where required, and identified needs and recommendations are included in a written document.

Jasmine provides various options for families when it comes to services as not all children require a full assessment straight away as this can be time consuming and taxing, as well as costly.
