Autism defined
Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is a condition that affects the brain development of a child, impacting the way they socialize, communicate and behave. No diagnosis is the same, and the effects of autism are deeply individual and unique to each person or child.
The importance of an autism diagnosis
An autism diagnosis is an important first step to better understand your child’s unique needs, communication style, and how to best support their individual growth. With an early diagnosis and developmental therapy, your child can build the skills needed to reach their full potential and build lasting connections with others.
We currently offer virtual diagnostic evaluations for children between 18 months and 9 years old across numerous major cities.
