Autism Assessments
Understanding Every Brain's Story
At Infinite Pathways Psychology, our neuroaffirming, strengths-based Autism assessments provide insight and understanding for children, adolescents and adults. Whether you're a parent seeking clarity for your child or an adult exploring your own neurodivergence, we offer a respectful, supportive process that focuses on your unique strengths, challenges and experiences.
For Children & Adolescents
Every child learns, plays and connects in their own way. Our assessments help families understand their child's experience and supports needed to thrive.
We take the time to listen, learn about your child's development and explore both strengths and areas of difficulty.
For Adults
Autism can present differently at every stage of life. Many adults seek an assessment to better understand themselves and to make sense of lifelong experiences, support career or relationship goals or access appropriate accommodations.
Our adult Autism assessments provide an affirming space for reflection and self-discovery.
The Process Usually Involves
- Initial session to discuss history, strengths and goals
