In order for your child to access a range of services that are available through your health insurance plan, medical eligibility may have to be established through the presence of a specific diagnosis. We offer comprehensive diagnostic assessment for suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder, AD/HD or other developmental disorders in children. Once an appointment for assessment is made, parents will be asked to complete a list of standardized questionnaires via secure online link. The initial diagnostic interview appointment typically takes place at our office or client’s home where one or both parents are present to go over the developmental history of the child and to discuss the current concerns.
Additional follow up assessment appointments are scheduled with you and your child at your home and/or your child's school or daycare over a course of 2-3 days. As part of the assessment, the clinical assessor administers a series of parent questionnaires, conducts formal cognitive testing with your child, and performs informal observation in natural settings (home, preschool, school). A feedback session outlining the assessment outcomes, including an opportunity for questioning and clarification, recommendations for intervention and follow-up, and comprehensive written report are provided within one-three months of the observations completion date.
