I am submitting a DA application for my autistic son. He was diagnosed 10 years ago and received a diagnostic report at the time. Somebody said to me that this report is dated and I should get a new assessment for the application. I contacted the psychologist to arrange an appointment but he said it isn't necessary.
Has anyone made an application with a old assessment or know if it is acceptable by DSW?

Hi OP he won’t need another report or assessment.
