Any comments on the training and asessment provided by AutismPartners? I'm considering to register my daughter for their training and assessment.

I haven't done similar assessment in other organisation, so no comparison can be made.

Before the assessemnt, the clincial psychologist made it clear to me on phone that my son was still very young. No assessment is applicable to such young age and hence she wouldn't confirm if he's austic or not at this stage.  But she can use the assessments as a tool to identify "prblems" or "weaknesses".  I think that's fair.  It'd be up to me if I want to proceed with the assessment.  

The assessment took about 3 hrs to complete and done by a clinical psychologist.  She started with observing how my son played with toys (in particular whether he'll approach any one to play with him or seek help or share his intrerest/joy/ or has eye contact with others).  This part took more than 1 hr.  Then she interviewed the parents and let us know her observations and how she thinks.   I'd say she is very detailed in her observations.  We don't even notice some of the "weaknesses" raised by her.  

The therapy lesson is done by a lady.  according to the name card, she is a U graduate in psychology.  1st lesson is mainly to let my son to familarise with her through playing.  Yet, she could still teach me some techniques in addressing my son's problems.  I can't conclude if the therapy is good or not at this very early stage.  

For price, if you want to know, i can PM you.
