AUTISM ASSESSMENT

Do you think your child might have autism? We can help you know for sure. Are you interested in getting a clearer picture of their cognitive ability? We can help you with that too.

The faster you can have your child formally evaluated, the faster you can move forward with securing the help he or she needs. Whether your insurance carrier requires it, or you would simply like detailed information regarding your child’s current developmental profile, we provide autism diagnostic evaluations and cognitive assessments to suit your specific needs. All evaluations are conducted by a Clinical Psychologist / Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and may include full reports as required.
