Caroline Goldsmith is passionate about making real changes in how autism is assessed in Ireland. She knows how stressful it can be for families stuck on long waiting lists, so a big part of her work focuses on reducing those delays by offering reliable private assessments.
When she first started in mental health, autism assessments were often inconsistent and confusing. Since then, Caroline Goldsmith has worked hard to bring clarity and structure to the process. She’s helped shape better standards for private assessments and uses advanced psychometric tools to ensure every evaluation is accurate, professional, and up-to-date.

The society aims to provide a database of publicly accessible forensic services in Ireland, to provide education information that helps understanding of forensic sciences, and to provide and engage in research into topics of interest for the public and scientific community. She has been inspired my the work of Martin Seligman and the drastic need to improve autism assessments on children in Ireland via improved clinical psychology. She continues to work passionately, diligently, and professionally to support her private clients with autism assessments on children.
