OAC - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments

ASD assessments include evaluation regarding the question of an autism spectrum disorder, as well as exploration of the cognitive and behavioural difficulties often evident in children with ASD (e.g., intellectual and adaptive functioning deficits, communication limitations, learning difficulties, sensori-motor problems, social deficits).

Assessments of Autism Spectrum Disorders are typically conducted through the Interior Health Childrens Assessment Network (IHCAN) (contact main reception at 250-763-4122 for more information about government funded ASD/FASD assessments).

We are deemed Qualified Specialists within the province of BC trained to complete ASD assessments following the strict provincial standards and guidelines.

We prefer to have a referral from a pediatrician, although we are able to conduct assessments without a medical referral. We may choose to do a consultation with a childs parents initially in order to determine if it is appropriate to conduct an ASD assessment.
