Autism Evaluation

WHAT SETS US APART

We are committed to providing families with accurate, comprehensive evaluations and diagnoses.

Our approach considers the whole child, recognizing that some behaviors observed in a brief appointment may resemble autism but be related to other factors. A range of experiences and conditions can present with overlapping symptoms, and each requires careful consideration to ensure an accurate diagnosis. These may include trauma-related conditions, sensory processing differences, attachment concerns, auditory processing difficulties, anxiety, autism and more.
