Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessments

At Malaty Therapy, we provide comprehensive ASD assessments to help individuals and families gain a clearer understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our evaluations are designed to offer valuable insights, support, and recommendations tailored to each person’s unique needs.

What Is an ASD Assessment?

An ASD assessment is a structured evaluation used to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for ASD. The assessment process includes:

  • Clinical Interviews: Gathering developmental, behavioral, and medical history.
  • Standardized Testing: Utilizing evidence-based tools to assess communication, social skills, and behavior patterns.
  • Behavioral Observations: Evaluating interactions and responses in different environments.
  • Collateral Input: Feedback from parents, caregivers, teachers, or other important individuals when applicable.

Signs That You or Your Child May Need an ASD Assessment

If you or your child experience any of the following, an ASD evaluation may be beneficial:

  • Difficulty with social interactions and communication
  • Repetitive behaviors or restricted interests
  • Sensory sensitivities or unusual responses to sensory stimuli
  • Challenges in adapting to changes in routine
  • Delayed speech or nonverbal communication difficulties
  • Intense focus on specific topics or interests
  • Difficulty understanding emotions or social cues

The ASD Assessment Process

  1. Initial Consultation: A discussion of concerns, symptoms, and goals with a licensed clinician.
  2. Comprehensive Evaluation: Administration of structured tests, interviews, and behavioral observations.
  3. Diagnosis & Recommendations: A thorough review of findings with personalized recommendations for therapy, interventions, and accommodations.
  4. Feedback Session: A clear and supportive discussion of results, next steps, and available resources for ongoing support.
