Diagnoses
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual and Developmental Disorders (IDD) are conditions that affect how people think, learn, and interact with others. To diagnose these conditions, our team comes to you to carefully observe a persons behavior, communication skills, and social interactions within their own environment, where they are most comfortable. We will also talk with the individual's family to learn more about their development. Getting diagnosed early helps in finding the right support and help for the person to live a better life. Oftentimes, we will find other diagnoses as a result of looking for these disorders. Rest assured, no matter the diagnosis, we have a team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), registered behavior technicians, speech-language pathologists, mental health specialists, and occupational therapists, ready to provide assessment and intervention for individuals with delayed developmental skills, and various other diagnoses from birth to adulthood.
