Diagnostic Evaluation Services
We provide diagnostic evaluations for children with suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or other complex developmental disabilities. Diagnostic evaluations are provided by a psychologist certified in clinical psychology. When necessary, evaluations may be team-based and include a speech therapist, occupational therapist, or medical provider.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Our center now uses advanced diagnostic tools like the EarliPoint Evaluation to improve autism diagnostics for children. This cutting-edge software tracks eye movement to assess social behaviors quickly and accurately, in as little as 12 minutes. This helps providers identify autism earlier. It's approved by the FDA for use in children aged 16-30 months, with research extended to other ages. By offering this technology in our center, we aim to reduce delays in diagnosis and provide families with faster access to necessary interventions. This innovation reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional care for individuals with developmental disabilities.
