Psychological Assessment of Children With Autism – Guidelines From Practice

Summary/Abstract: The psychological assessment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents unique challenges and demands a specialized approach. This paper provides comprehensive guidelines drawn from clinical practice to facilitate effective and meaningful assessment of these children. Key components of the assessment process include the establishment of a safe and comfortable environment, rapport building with the child, utilization of standardized assessment tools tailored to autism-specific behaviors, and the incorporation of observations in various contexts. The assessment process also highlights the significance of gathering input from caregivers and parents to gain valuable insights into the child's developmental history and behavior. Additionally, these guidelines stress the need for cultural sensitivity and ethical considerations throughout the assessment process. Understanding the unique sensory sensitivities and communication challenges that children with autism may face is essential for accurate evaluation. Ultimately, this paper underscores the individuality of each child with autism and the importance of tailoring assessments to their specific needs, recognizing that a holistic understanding of their profile is paramount for informed interventions and support.
