This is Me! My Assessment Profile

Description

Free Leaflet (for photocopying) offered by the National Autistic Society.

You might be going through an assessment at the moment, or might have one soon.

Having an assessment means that different specialists (such as teachers, doctors and therapists) are talking
about the type of help and support that you need.

They will look at what is going on in your life and how well you are doing. They will then decide what support
you need, to help with things that you find difficult and help you achieve your goals.

The specialists need to take lots of information into account before they can make any decisions.
They really need to know what is important to you. This will help them make their decision about what
support is best for you.

This booklet gives you the chance to say what changes you might like to make in three areas of your
life. These areas are education, health care and social care.
