Autism and Cognitive Assessments: Navigating the Path to Support
At Affective Solutions, we understand the unique challenges that Autism presents in the lives of children, their families, and educators. Our specialised team of accredited psychologists and therapists are dedicated to offering comprehensive Autism and cognitive assessments, essential in acquiring NDIS funding or obtaining further financial assistance.
NDIS FUNDING & FURTHER SUPPORT
Navigating the complex process of securing NDIS funding can be daunting. Our assessments, aligned with the NDIS framework, provide the critical evidence needed to access the essential funding for therapy, early intervention programs, and support services. Our structured evaluations consider the unique needs of the individual, giving the NDIS support coordinators the essential information they require to allocate resources effectively.
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE AT SCHOOL
Children with Autism often require tailored support in educational settings to thrive. Our assessments are crafted to identify specific learning needs, enabling schools to implement individualised support strategies. By fostering collaboration between teachers, parents, and support staff, we facilitate an educational environment that acknowledges and nurtures the unique capabilities of each child.
ENSURING APPROPRIATE TREATMENT
Treatment for Autism requires an understanding of the particular cognitive, emotional, and developmental needs of each individual. Our assessments employ evidence-based methodologies to craft comprehensive care plans, ensuring treatment that is not only effective but also empathetic. This personalised approach paves the way for optimal growth and development, fostering life skills and independence.
