What is an Autism Evaluation?

Our Comprehensive Autism Evaluations are considered the most accurate method for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is not a simple "test" with right or wrong answers, but a semi-structured observation of communication, social interaction, and play.

Why we use Clinical Evaluations

  • Objectivity: Removes bias by using standardized toys and activities.

  • Comprehensive: Evaluates communication, social interaction, play, and restricted behaviors.

  • Insurance Preferred: Most insurance carriers require standardized scores for authorizing ABA therapy.

Common Questions

It depends on your insurance. For Medicaid, a referral is often helpful but not strictly required to start the intake process. We recommend obtaining one to speed up authorization, but you can call us first to check your specific plan requirements.
The evaluation typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes. We allow extra time so your child feels comfortable and isn't rushed.
