Autism Assessment and Diagnostic Testing

We now offer autism diagnostic testing for children across several of our locations.

Autism Diagnosis

A growing body of research supports the value of obtaining an autism evaluation and beginning treatment as early as possible. With early detection and diagnosis, children with autism can begin receiving treatments, which have been shown to make a significant impact on a child’s life and development. While all children should be monitored for symptoms of autism, it takes a series of scientifically-based, standardized assessment tools administered by a trained professional to make a diagnosis.

Coordinated Care

Having your child tested for autism at Bierman ABA leads to more comprehensive, accessible, coordinated and child-centered treatment. When your child receives evaluation for diagnosis at Bierman ABA, information from the diagnostic report is shared with your child’s behavior analyst to create a unique treatment plan. Bierman ABA provides the unique opportunity to connect diagnosis and treatment, creating a comprehensive care plan that coordinates your child’s needs across a complex healthcare system.
