Autism Spectrum Conditions

  • At CPSA, we provide Autism assessments for children, adolescents and adults. In our comprehensive Autism assessments, we use both the SRS-2 and MIGDAS-2 to provide a thorough and personalized evaluation.
  • The SRS-2 (Social Responsiveness Scale, 2nd Edition) helps measure social skills and behaviours commonly associated with ASD, offering a clear picture of how an individual interacts with others. It’s a questionnaire completed by parents, teachers, or the individual themselves.
  • The MIGDAS-2 (Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum) takes a more interactive approach, observing communication style, sensory preferences, and behaviour in a comfortable, natural setting. This allows our clinicians to gather deeper insights into the individual’s unique strengths and challenges.
  • Together, these tools provide a well-rounded and detailed understanding, helping us create tailored support plans. Our clinicians have extensive experience in using both the SRS-2 and MIGDAS-2 to ensure each assessment is accurate, respectful, and comprehensive.

Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • We provide comprehensive ADHD assessments for children, adolescents, and adults using the Conners 4, BRIEF 2 and DIVA-5 tools.
  • The Conners 4 is a questionnaire that measures attention, behaviour, and emotional symptoms, completed by parents, teachers, or the individual.
  • The BRIEF 2 (Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function) assesses everyday skills like planning, organizing, and self-control.
  • The DIVA-5 is a structured interview that looks at ADHD symptoms in both childhood and adulthood, helping to identify patterns of inattention and hyperactivity.
  • Together, these tools give us a complete understanding of how ADHD affects daily life, allowing our experienced clinicians to create personalized support plans for each age group.

Cognitive and Learning Assessments

  • We use a range of assessments, including the WAIS, WISC, WPPSI, WIAT, and ABAS-3, to provide comprehensive cognitive and learning evaluations for individuals of all ages.
  • The WAIS-IV (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 4th Edition) and WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 5th Edition) measure cognitive abilities such as reasoning, memory, and problem-solving in adults and children.
  • The WPPSI-IV (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence 4th Edition) assesses cognitive development in younger children, offering insights into early learning strengths and challenges.
  • The WIAT-III (Wechsler Individual Achievement Test 3rd Edition) evaluates academic skills like reading, writing, and math, helping us understand any learning difficulties.
  • The ABAS-3 (Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System) measures practical, everyday skills, such as communication and self-care, to assess how well individuals manage daily tasks.
  • By using these tools together, our clinicians can gain a detailed understanding of cognitive abilities, learning strengths, and areas for support, helping us tailor intervention plans to each individual’s needs.
