Answer 2

It depends where your from in my sons case he was referred for a hearing test before the diagnoses of autism, when it came back his hearing was fine then he was send to our local child development center for a six week assessment, in which they look at the child's way of social interaction, speech ,eye contact ..

Answer 3

Start with a CARS or a GARS test. If you don't know what they are, you are not qualified to assess an autistic child.

Also look into a Revised Leiters test, as well as speech and sensory screenings.

Answer 4

Assess for what? Academic performance, what they have learned since the last assessment, sensory needs? How old is the child and how severe is the autism?  I need more information!
