Autism Evaluations
Receiving an autism diagnosis can be life-changing for individuals and their families. Our goal at Healing Therapy Center is to offer clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process. Our autism evaluations provide a comprehensive view of social, emotional, communication, and behavioral functioning.
Who Might Need an Autism Evaluation?
- Children or adolescents struggling with social interactions or communication
- Children showing repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities, or fixated interests.
- Individuals seeking answers about lifelong difficulties with social skills, sensory issues, or rigid routines.
Our autism evaluation process is guided by best practices in psychological assessment. We use a combination of standardized testing, behavioral observations, and input from caregivers, teachers, and the client themselves. Our approach ensures a complete and accurate understanding of the individual's strengths and challenges
What Does the Autism Evaluation Process Look Like?
- Initial Consultation – We meet with the client (and their parents/caregivers, if applicable) to discuss concerns and determine if an evaluation is appropriate.
- Data Collection – We gather relevant information from teachers, parents, and medical providers to create a full picture of the individual’s development, social skills, and behavior.
- Testing – Using evidence-based tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), we assess social interaction, communication, play, and behavior.
- Comprehensive Report – We compile a detailed report that explains the results, diagnosis (if applicable), and specific recommendations. This report can be used to request accommodations at school, therapy, or support services.
- Feedback Session – We meet with the client (and caregivers, if applicable) to discuss the results, provide clarity, and answer questions.
