Why Choose a Multi-Divisional Evaluation?

Early identification plays a vital role in helping children with autism reach their full potential. Our evaluation brings together professionals from multiple specialties to assess a child’s developmental, behavioral, cognitive, and social strengths and challenges. This team-based approach helps ensure that nothing is missed and sets the foundation for a tailored and effective care plan.

Initial Consultation

We begin by meeting with caregivers to gather insights into the child’s history, behavior, and areas of concern.

Diagnostic Assessments

Using age-appropriate, evidence-based tools, we conduct detailed assessments that align with the child’s developmental stage.

Multidisciplinary Team Involvement

Our expert team includes psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and ABA professionals — offering a complete view of your child’s abilities.

Comprehensive Reports & Next Steps

Following the assessment, you’ll receive a thorough report with clear findings, diagnosis (if applicable), and recommendations for therapies, educational support, and further interventions.

Developmental Assessment

We evaluate your child’s milestones in areas like thinking, movement, and adaptive skills. This helps us understand where your child is thriving and where extra support may help.

Behavioral Observation & Analysis

By observing your child in both structured and natural settings, we gain insight into their social behaviors, communication styles, and repetitive patterns commonly linked to autism.

Speech & Language Evaluation

Our licensed speech therapists assess how your child understands and uses language. This helps us recommend strategies and therapies that build better communication skills.

Occupational Therapy Assessment

We evaluate fine motor skills, sensory needs, and daily living abilities. Our occupational therapists offer tailored recommendations to support everyday functioning and comfort.

Social & Emotional Development Review

This part of the evaluation looks at how your child builds relationships, handles emotions, and navigates social interactions — crucial for emotional growth and confidence.

Cognitive & Academic Testing

We assess cognitive abilities like memory and problem-solving. For school-age children, academic testing also helps guide educational plans and classroom support.

Medical Evaluation

This includes a medical history review and physical check-up. We also identify any related health conditions to ensure your child receives comprehensive care.
