Autism
Specialized Evaluations in Scottsdale, Arizona
Deep passions, routine-driven, & socially misunderstood.
Autism is a spectrum, in that no one child is alike, as they each have unique obstacles and abilities. Navigating the world can be uniquely challenging for children, teens, and young adults on the autism spectrum, as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) influences brain development and affects communication, social skills, and behavior. Our Scottsdale practice provides specialized evaluations for ASD, recognizing that each child's experience is as distinct as they are. An autism evaluation can be a crucial step in understanding your child's individual needs, from social interactions to their special interests and responses to sensory stimuli. By identifying ASD, we can create a supportive roadmap that respects your child's perspective and promotes their sense of belonging. Embracing their strengths and addressing their challenges, we aim to enhance their ability to thrive in a world that's not always tailored to their unique way of seeing things.
