Autism Evaluations

We believe in the importance of recognizing and understanding neurodiversity. When assessing for Autism, we do not feel that there is a one size fits all approach nor that the goal should be to make the neurodiverse become neurotypical. Our goal is to address concerns that the individual experiences as frustrating, overwhelming, or distressing. Our assessments focus on seeking understanding of your child’s strengths and struggles, recommendations to support areas causing distress, and diagnostic clarity especially when you are concerned about multiple diagnoses. We would be happy to work with you and your family.

The assessment process for Autism requires a thorough evaluation, using multiple tools, along with observations and information from caregivers and other providers. As of January 1, 2024, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and Blue Care Network (BCN) insurances no longer require an evaluation at an Approved Autism Evaluation Center (AAEC) in order to receive Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), should this be your choice for intervention.
