It depends on the quality of the previous assessment received. Families who have received an ASD diagnosis in another province, territory, or outside of Canada will require a “Confirmation of Previous Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder” form to be signed by a qualified BC specialist. Our psychologists will thoroughly review the previous assessment reports and determine if the child meets the diagnostic standards set by the BC Autism Assessment Network (BCAAN). If it does, our psychologists will sign the confirmation form, and no reassessment is needed. If the previous assessment is deemed inadequate, a reassessment will be needed.
