What Is Autism Screening and Testing?

Autism evaluations are about understanding how a child experiences the world, not changing who they are.


Our Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

We view autism as a natural variation in human development. Our assessments honor each child’s communication style, interests, sensory needs, and strengths.


What the Process Includes

  • Developmental history and parent collaboration

  • Play-based and structured observations

  • Gold-standard tools, such as the ADOS-2 and MIGDAS

  • Interviews

  • Cognitive, adaptive, and academic testing as needed

  • Thoughtful feedback focused on clarity, strengths, and next steps


Families leave with a deeper understanding, practical guidance, and support navigating school and community resources.
