| Autism, Aspergers and Related Pervasive Developmental Difficulties Overseas Services Annie's Centre provides the following Autism Spectrum Disorder outreach services to overseas clients. Please contact us regarding any of the following services: Autism Spectrum Disorder One-Week Clinics Diagnostic assessments - One-week block of diagnostic assessments for children aged 18 months and onward suspected of having an Autism Spectrum Disorder
- This involves spending one week in the area to complete 1-2 assessments per day
- Assessments include immediate feedback to families about the child's diagnosis and recommendations for intervention and ongoing support
- Detailed reports are mailed to families and/or other relevant professionals within 10 days after the assessment
- Assessments occur either at the child's pre-school or school, at a health centre or within the conference/meeting room facilities of a local hotel/motel
- All assessments involve the use of the two major diagnostic assessment tools for Autism: the Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). In scientific literature these are regarded as the "gold standard" diagnostic assessment tools
- Assessments may also include (at extra cost) cognitive assessments (i.e., IQ assessments), adaptive behaviour and developmental assessments
Pre-school/School-based consultations - One-week block of consultations
- These involve observations of the child in the classroom and on the playground. A meeting/case conference is then held at the child's school with the parents and the teaching professionals. Strategies and priorities for intervention and ongoing support are discussed.
