An autism evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of your child’s communication, behavior, sensory profile, and developmental history. It helps determine whether your child meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) under the DSM-5, and can support both educational and clinical eligibility.

Our evaluations are tailored to your child’s unique needs and may include:

• Gold-standard, play-based tool to observe communication and behavior.

• Questionnaires & Rating forms

• Adaptive Behavior

• Cognitive Testing

• Behavior & Sensory Rating Scales

• Parent and Teacher Interviews

• Developmental and educational history review

We assess children and teens ages 3 through 21 who:

• Have difficulty with social interactions or communication

• Engage in repetitive behaviors or have strong routines

• May have been flagged by schools, pediatricians, or therapists

We help clarify whether your child qualifies for autism supports through:

• Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-5, for Regional Center, insurance, etc.)

• Consult on Educational impact (special education eligibility under IDEA)

We can help explain the difference between a school’s findings and a private diagnosis, and help you advocate confidently either way.
