Who can conduct an autism assessment?

Autism assessments can be conducted by various professionals including developmental paediatricians, clinical psychologists, speech pathologists, and occupational therapists. In many cases, a multidisciplinary team provides a more accurate picture of the child’s strengths and challenges. Each professional contributes to a different aspect of the assessment—whether it’s language, behaviour, or emotional development. Some funding programs like the NDIS require diagnosis from recognised practitioners. A thorough assessment helps determine the most suitable interventions.
