Autism Testing & Evaluation Services
Are you concerned about your child’s development? Are you noticing communication challenges, delayed development, repetitive, fixated, or explosive behaviors, or a possible regression in your child’s skills? The rate of autism now 1 in 36 children in the United States, (according to the CDC). Consequently, we are seeing an increase in demand for autism testing and evaluation services.
As a result of this increase, there are often very long waiting lists to have your child evaluated for autism. And because early intervention is so critical, we offer autism testing and evaluation services.
Our highly specialized clinical team can administer a variety of evaluations that support families in search of answers. We will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine what may be going on with your child’s development. These assessments can fulfill insurance company requirements for diagnostic autism evaluations that are required for approving therapies. Based on the results, our team will then provide recommendations for next steps and therapeutic options to support your child’s development.
Testing Provides Answers
Our developmental testing and diagnostic services will provide answers and a plan of action. So whether your child receives an autism diagnosis or some other developmental diagnosis, receiving answers is the first step in finding help. Using data gathered to generate an objective course of action minimizes trial and error and enables the potential for more effective treatment. Additionally, research indicates that starting treatment early greatly increases the potential for significant gains in the developmental process for children with autism.
