Early diagnosis of Autism can help your child access early intervention. Early intervention is designed to take advantage of your child's brain development, to maximize their learning when learning is still easy. For children 16 to 30 months old, we can diagnose in less than 3 hours.
I'm Ready to Take ActionIs something not quite right? I work with parents who hate to see their little one struggle endlessly. You want them to feel good about learning and themselves. You want them to have the tools to excel in education, friendships, career... and be happy. But what is the missing piece? I LOVE digging deep to figue it out using comprehensive and developmentally sensitive testing. Welcome to the first step of a detailed road map to your child's success plan.
Let's Figure It Out
Your little one is bright! So why are they so defiant? Maybe they can chat up a storm and be so kind to others, but melt down at the drop of a hat. I work with parents of young children who want to be sure these difficulties don’t escalate. You want a calmer, more joyful home now. Get ready to build your child's toolbox, Mom and Dad!
Let's Go
More and more adults with unidentified autism are seeking evaluation. We can figure out your strengths and how to accommodate your difficulties so you can live happier, more productively, and have the life of your dreams!
