Autism Spectrum Assessments – Across the Lifespan
At Looking Within, autism assessments are available for children, adolescents, and adults, with pathways tailored to age and presentation.
Adult autism assessments are delivered via telehealth across Australia and use the MIGDAS-2, ABAS-3, and a range of screening measures to explore masking, daily functioning, sensory experiences, and real-world challenges.
Child and adolescent assessments are conducted face to face and draw on gold-standard tools including the ADOS-2, ADI-R, and Vineland-3, alongside developmental history and clinical observation.

Learning Disorders - Across the Lifespan
Dyslexia, Dyscalculia & Specific Learning Disorder in Writing
Learning Disorder assessments explore a person’s academic skills and are helpful when a child, adolescent, or adult is finding learning more challenging than expected at school, work, or in everyday tasks.
At Looking Within, we use the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) alongside a comprehensive cognitive assessment. This allows us to understand an individual’s academic abilities in relation to their thinking and learning profile, and to determine whether a Specific Learning Disorder may be present.
