Early Insights Make a Lasting Difference
You know your child best. Certain behaviors can indicate that an evaluation may help provide clarity and guide next steps to help your child thrive. Just as importantly, trust your instincts. If something feels off, it’s worth paying attention to. Recognizing these signs early gives you answers, peace of mind, and a clear path forward.
Signs you may want to have your child evaluated:
- Delayed speech or communication
- Difficulty with social interaction
- Repetitive behaviors or routines
- Sensory sensitivities
A Diagnosis Opens the Path to Therapy
A formal autism diagnosis* is required for most insurance plans to cover ABA and other therapies. Getting tested not only provides answers to your questions and uncertainty but also ensures your child can access the full range of services they need to thrive.
*Please note that insurance companies do not accept a diagnosis from a school psychologist (LSSP), and you will still need a formal diagnosis from a medical professional.
