Frequently Asked Questions
Children with diagnosed autism spectrum disorder, suspected developmental delays, or neurodevelopmental conditions qualify for our services. Initial evaluations determine diagnostic criteria and appropriate services. Some families access services through insurance, others through school-based special education funding, and some pay privately.
Initial visits involve intake paperwork and clinical interviewing. Parents describe developmental history, current skills and challenges, family dynamics, and treatment goals. Our clinicians conduct behavioral observations seeing how your child responds to structured interactions and new adults. This information forms the foundation for individualized treatment planning. We discuss insurance, costs, and scheduling during these appointments.
