Autism Evaluations
We specialize in comprehensive autism evaluations for both children and adults. Our goal is to provide accurate diagnoses and tailored intervention plans to support the unique needs of each individual, enhancing their quality of life.
Our autism evaluations use a combination of observational techniques, input from patients, parents, caregivers, and teachers (for children), and standardized assessment tools. This multifaceted approach ensures a thorough and accurate diagnosis.
