Our Testing Process

These assessments may include direct interaction with your child, parent questionnaires, and structured observations.
- After the assessments are completed, our team will carefully analyze the results to provide you with a clear understanding of your child's strengths, challenges, and any potential indicators of Autism Spectrum Disorder in a feedback session.
- We will also provide you with a comprehensive report, outlining all the findings, diagnoses and list of personalized recommendations.
