MKayD autism specialists will work with individuals with autism, carers and other providers and commissioners to conduct robust and individualised assessments that will lead to valid and reliable diagnostic formulations.
Assessments can focus on identification, diagnosis and confirmation of diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions.
Our diagnostic assessments are multi-disciplinary; relevant professionals from different disciplines will be involved to provide a more valid outcome (please see our Autism MDT here).
Since no single test is appropriate for all, assessments will be carried out using a different combination of tools, depending on individual client’s needs. These can vary in length but will be multi-agency, and involve relevant stakeholders in order to obtain information needed.

Further Assessments
Receiving a diagnosis can be helpful for an individual and can aid in structuring interventions tailored to meet needs. Further assessments to facilitate the formulation of a person with autism needs are also helpful. Our assessments can be carried out using a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on specialist resources from different clinical disciplines.
These could include:
- Behavioural analysis
- Emotional/affective problems
- Medical / Physical problems
- Sensory integration difficulties
- Cognitive / Intellectual functioning
- Executive Functioning impairments
- Adaptive Skills functioning
- Speech and Language problems, including social communication difficulties
