Autism assessment overview.

At MAPP Psychology, our Autism assessment is an intricate and considerate process that follows the NICE guidelines in line with the NHS.

Our psychologists have been through specialised training to conduct thorough and precise ASD assessments, and they utilise the most comprehensive and valid psychometric testing tools available (including the ADOS-2 and ADI-R) to provide clarity and insight into each individual case.

We recognise that assessing for Autism can be vital for individuals and families at any age and stage. Determining the potential presence of Autism is vital from children to later adulthood. At MAPP, our psychologists are expertly training at assessing for Autism for individuals 4 years and above. We utilise specific psychometric testing based on age in order to give the most accurate picture possible.

Our specialist in-house GP Dr Samantha Rice reviews and signs off on all of our reports, which are designed to not just outline findings but to guide you towards the next steps - be it management strategies, therapy, or other supportive measures.

Our assessment process.

At MAPP Psychology we’re committed to providing our clients with the most thorough ASD assessments available. Our process follows the NICE guidelines in line with the NHS and is meticulously designed to ensure clarity, precision & depth - helping us diagnose ASD with the highest degree of accuracy.

  • At MAPP Psychology, our team of expert psychologists specialise in understanding, assessing and diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Each psychologist holds advanced doctorate degrees in psychology and has undergone extensive training in assessing Autism.

    Moreover, they stay updated with the latest research and diagnostic criteria related to ASD, ensuring our assessments adhere to the highest standards of clinical practice. We also have expert experience and training in the utilisation of the clinically proven psychometrics we use to establish a diagnosis of Autism, providing comprehensive insights and guidance to individuals and their families.

  • At MAPP Psychology, we understand the importance of creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for ASD assessments. Our evaluation rooms are thoughtfully designed to provide a calming environment where you can feel at ease throughout the assessment journey. Understanding the heightened sensory sensitivities often associated with Autism, our rooms are designed to minimise external stimuli, fostering an environment conducive to concentration and engagement.

    Our team of psychologists are not only highly qualified and experienced but also friendly and approachable. We understand that the assessment process can be daunting for individuals and their families, and our psychologists strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you will feel supported and understood. From the moment you step into our office, you'll be greeted with a smile and treated with empathy and respect.

    We believe in a client-centred approach to Autism assessments, and that includes creating a supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, concerns, and experiences. Our psychologists take the time to build rapport with clients, fostering a trusting relationship that allows for open communication and collaboration throughout the assessment process.

  • At MAPP Psychology, we employ the most effective and clinically validated testing methodologies available when assessing for Autism. We utilise the ADOS-2 and the ADI-R (both considered as the gold standard in clinical proven psychometrics for determining Autism).

    Aligned with NICE guidelines and NHS standards, our approach is firmly rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring precise and dependable diagnosis and evaluation of Autism symptoms. We harness a diverse array of comprehensive psychometric tests meticulously crafted to assess various facets of ASD symptoms and associated challenges. These tests are thoughtfully chosen based on their robustness, reliability, and sensitivity to ASD-related impairments. Our psychometrics encompass assessments of social communication skills, sensory processing, repetitive behaviours, and other key domains relevant to ASD diagnosis and evaluation.

    Psychometric evaluation furnishes an objective and standardised means to gauge ASD symptoms, enabling a more accurate and dependable assessment compared to subjective observations alone. By quantifying cognitive abilities, social behaviours, and sensory responses we can establish an Autism diagnosis, and differentiate it from other conditions with overlapping features. Acknowledging the diverse presentations of Autism and its potential co-morbidities with conditions such as anxiety or intellectual disabilities, we adopt a tailored approach to Autism assessments. This involves selecting psychometric tests that best align with the unique needs and characteristics of each individual, ensuring a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of their Autism profile.

  • At MAPP Psychology, we believe in a comprehensive approach to ASD assessment that goes beyond just observation. Our assessment procedure involves a thorough verbal interview that provides a platform for you to express your experiences and challenges. Additionally, we value the insights provided by loved ones and family members, recognising the unique perspectives they can bring on your behaviour and functioning. This collateral information from family members or close associates is integrated into our assessment process, offering a holistic view of symptoms and their impact on daily life.

    By combining a full verbal assessment with collateral information we establish a clear understanding of the extent of any potential ASD diagnosis - this ensures the assessment is holistic, thorough, accurate, and reflective of your lived experiences, paving the way for tailored interventions and support strategies tailored to your unique needs.

Our reporting process.

At MAPP Psychology our commitment to your wellbeing extends beyond our thorough ASD assessments. We’ve developed a personalised reporting process designed to share your outcome in a format that is crystal clear, supportive & helpful - serving as a practical resource in your journey toward managing Autism effectively.

  • At MAPP Psychology, transparency and clarity are of the utmost importance in our ASD assessment process. Our assessment reports are meticulously crafted to provide a clear and concise summary of our findings, ensuring that you and your family have a comprehensive understanding of the assessment outcomes. In cases where ASD is diagnosed, our report clearly communicates this diagnosis, outlining the specific symptoms and criteria met.

    We provide detailed explanations of how these symptoms manifest in your behaviour and functioning, as well as the potential impact on various aspects of your life including academics, work, and relationships. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and understanding you need to navigate your ASD diagnosis effectively. We offer guidance and support at every step of the journey, empowering you to embrace your strengths and address challenges with confidence and resilience.

  • At MAPP Psychology, we recognise that everyone’s experience with ASD is unique, influenced by a myriad of factors including personality, environment, and personal history. That's why our approach to ASD assessments and reports is deeply personalised and subjective. We understand the importance of considering your specific circumstances and concerns when conducting assessments, and we tailor our evaluation process accordingly.

    Our psychologists prioritise building rapport with you, fostering a trusting relationship that allows for open communication and collaboration throughout the assessment process. By listening to your perspectives and experiences we ensure our reports reflect the nuances of your ASD symptoms and the impact they have on your daily life. Our goal is to provide you with a thorough and accurate understanding of your diagnosis, empowering you to make informed decisions about your mental health and well-being.

  • At MAPP Psychology, our commitment extends beyond simply diagnosing Autism, and where we have a diagnosis we strive to equip you with practical tools and strategies to navigate the challenges associated with the condition. Our assessment reports serve as personalised toolkits tailored to address the unique difficulties you may experience with ASD. In addition to outlining any potential diagnosis, our reports offer a wealth of suggestions and coping strategies customised to your specific needs and circumstances.

    These strategies may encompass techniques for improving attention and focus, managing impulsivity, enhancing organisational skills and fostering self-regulation.

    By providing a tailored set of strategies, our goal is to empower you to effectively manage your symptoms and optimise your functioning in various domains of life. We understand that living with ASD can present daily obstacles, and our reports serve as comprehensive guides to help you overcome these challenges and thrive.

  • At MAPP Psychology, our commitment to excellence in ADHD assessment extends beyond the expert delivery of your assessment and report, and may include support on your next steps from our in-house GP Dr Samantha Rice.

    In some circumstances it can be helpful for Dr Rice to review and provide a cover letter to support a diagnosis, and this is just another example of where we are working hard to provide the highest level of service around ADHD assessments and reporting.
