Diagnostic Services

Diagnostic Services Program

Our staff of licensed psychologists and skilled technicians have expertise in diagnosing autism. The resulting diagnosis for all clients is based on the criteria for autism spectrum disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR).

We have streamlined our evaluation process to ensure your family has easy access to expert diagnostic services. Most of our specialized evaluations are safely and conveniently completed at home through remote care. When clinically indicated, we invite families to visit one of our dedicated centers for a collaborative, in-person assessment.

The process begins with a developmental history interview completed by phone with a parent or caregiver. Then, we will complete an observational assessment, either remotely or in our office. This assessment allows us to observe behavior and skills directly. It provides valuable information that helps us make a diagnostic determination. You will also be asked to complete a questionnaire at home that helps us measure your child’s skills and compare them with those of typically developing children in the same age group.
