Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Signs & Symptoms: Does this sound like your child?

• Social Communication: Challenges which may include difficulty with back-and-forth conversation, inconsistent eye contact, or trouble interpreting non-verbal social cues from peers.

• Behavioral Patterns: Very strong preference for specific routines, repetitive physical movements, or deeply focused, "encyclopedic" interests in certain topics.

• Sensory Processing: Over- or under-responsiveness to sensory input, such as being overwhelmed by loud noises, specific clothing textures, or bright lights.

Our "Whole Child" Evaluation Process

• Comprehensive Clinical Interview: We conduct a deep dive into your child's early developmental milestones, social history, and family dynamics to gather a full picture of their growth.

• Gold-Standard Diagnostic Observations: We use evidence-based observation tools to assess social communication, play skills, and behavioral patterns in a supportive environment.

• Multi-Perspective Input: With your permission, we collect behavioral data and insights from teachers or other specialists to see how your child functions across different settings.

• Cognitive & Adaptive Screening: We measure thinking abilities and daily living skills to distinguish between Autism and other developmental or intellectual delays.

• Record Review: We carefully analyze previous school evaluations, medical records, and IEPs to identify long-term patterns and unmet needs.
