- Comprehensive Assessment – Our experienced clinicans use diagnostic tools to assess key areas related to autism.
- Detailed report – After the assessment, we carefully review the results and prepare a clear, easy-to-understand report.
- Feedback session – We go through the results with you, explaining the findings and offer guidance on the next steps
