Autism Assessment (Exploration of Autistic Identity) €1700
A process to explore whether your child is Autistic typically involves three stages:
A session with parents/guardians to gather detailed information relating to your child’s development and experience of the world (this is typically carried out remotely)
A play-based session for younger children (this will occur in the clinic) OR conversation about experiences related to Autistic experiences for adolescents (this will occur in the clinic)
Outcome session carried out with parents and adolescents if they wish to attend (this is typically carried out remotely)
Post-Identification support session with Thriving Autistic (should your child be identified as Autistic)
A full report outlining your child’s profile of strengths and experiences in relation to the outcome of their piece in line with the DSM-5 criteria (if relevant to the outcome) and detailed recommendations will be provided.
This report will be accepted by the HSE and Department of Education.
Should your child require a cognitive assessment as part of their overall assessment, the additional fee for this is €300. This will be discussed with you in full during the initial stages of the process.
Parent Consultation €200
If you are unsure if your child needs a full assessment (to fully explore if your child is Autistic), we offer a Parent Consultation. The fee for this consultation is €200 and should you decide to progress with the full process, this amount is deducted from the total fee.
