AUTISM (ASD) ASSESSMENT SERVICES (ADULT & CHILDREN)

Autism Screening Assessment - Available Now
Our Autism Screening Assessment provides a quick, structured way to check the likelihood of autism in children or adults. Conducted by a HCPC-registered psychologist, this assessment uses the GARS (Gilliam Autism Rating Scale), a well-established tool for identifying autism traits. The results come in a clear written letter and can be used as supporting evidence for referrals for further diagnostic testing. Assessments can be conducted in person or online, offering a timely, accessible first step for those seeking clarity.

Full Autism Diagnostic Assessment
A full autism assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation for diagnosis and is conducted by a multi-disciplinary team. This assessment includes the ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule), the gold-standard tool for autism evaluation, alongside detailed developmental history and clinical interviews.

This service will be available at Luxe Psychology Practice from February 2026. To secure a place on our waiting list and receive priority updates, please contact us.

ABOUT THE GARS-3 (GILLIAM AUTISM RATING SCALE)

The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale, Third Edition (GARS-3) is one of the most widely used and trusted tools for assessing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the world. Suitable for children, adolescents and young adults aged 3 to 22 years, the GARS-3 helps parents, teachers, and clinicians identify autism traits and estimate their severity.

At Luxe Psychology Practice, we use the GARS-3 as part of our Autism Screening Assessment, providing reliable results that can support referrals for full autism assessments, diagnostic testing, and specialist services.
