Autism assessments & support

At Handelsman Psychology we work hard to be neurodiversity affirming in our practice. This means:

• we embrace the uniqueness and strengths of every neurodivergent child

• we respect all forms of communication, respect co-regulation and consider sensory supports when meeting with children and young people

• we recognise that autistic children and young people have different ways of processing information, learning communicating and socialising; this may include skills which are personal strengths and others which are personal difficulties

• we help autistic children and young people identify their unique support needs in different environments and advocate for these to their family and schools

• we continue to listen to and learn from those with lived experience.
