Autism Spectrum
Disorder Testing

You have concerns. We can help you find answers.

Common Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that can involve persistent challenges in social interaction, speech, nonverbal communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. The characteristics can vary significantly across individuals, but some common traits include:

  • Difficulty with Social Interaction: Challenges in understanding and responding to social cues; difficulty in developing and maintaining relationships.
  • Impaired Communication Skills: Delayed speech development, difficulty in carrying a conversation, or complete lack of speech in some cases.
  • Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repetitive movements, routines, or activities; insistence on sameness and resistance to change.
  • Sensory Sensitivities: Over or under sensitivity to sensory inputs like sound, light, and touch.
  • Limited Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or objects, often to the exclusion of other activities.
  • Challenges with Emotional Regulation: Difficulty in managing emotions, which may result in disruptive or aggressive behavior.
  • Developmental Delays: Variability in cognitive and learning skills, with some individuals showing exceptional skills in specific areas and challenges in others.

It’s important to note that every individual with ASD is unique, and the presence and severity of these characteristics can vary widely. Early diagnosis and tailored support can offer significant benefits.

Answering Parent’s Top Questions About Autism Spectrum Disorder Testing

How do I schedule my child’s test?

Call, text, or fill out the contact form below to discuss scheduling the test. 

Do I need a referral from a physician to have my child tested?
No, you do not.
Will my insurance cover the cost of the test?

This type of assessment is typically offered by practices that are considered out-of-network providers. We will provide a Superbill with CPT codes that are often reimbursed to some extent for this service. You can then check with your insurance company to see whether they will cover part or all of the assessment.

Please see our Billing & Insurance page for additional information.

How long does the testing take?

Testing is typically one 2-hour appointment with your child and a 2-hour in-depth interview with parents only.

What can I do to prepare my child for the test?

We recommend telling them that they will meet a friendly teacher to do some activities and that we’ll ask them some questions.

Can I be in the room with my child during the testing?

Parents will be included in all testing for toddlers and young children. Your clinician will give you more information on whether you will be included in the testing session. Please feel free to inquire; we understand every situation is different.

When will I get the report?

Our comprehensive report will be ready for you within two weeks of completing all testing and interviews.

What happens after I receive the report?

We meet to review it together, answer questions, and provide helpful recommendations for therapies, professionals to follow up with, and community resources.

Here’s What Parents Are Saying

Jana was highly referred to me by another industry professional as the perfect fit for my son’s assessment. From the moment I reached out to Jana, she was kind, caring, understanding, and really wanted to help us get to the bottom of my son’s learning abilities. My son absolutely loved her. She was easy to talk to, made him very comfortable, and he was willing to work hard and put in the time to get the results that our entire family had been searching for. She has been such a blessing to us, and we spent so many years with unanswered questions that she was able to solve, identify, and give us strategies to move forward. And as if her thorough assessment wasn’t enough, she worked with us endlessly to find the perfect support person to help guide us and put the results into strategies that would work for him to be successful today and in the future. We are so thankful we found Jana, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants their questions answered.

Parent

We were lucky to find Jana Parker and highly recommend her. She was warm, gracious, and didn’t patronize our teen (which a surprising number of professionals do). Her evaluation was quite thorough. Her report provided more than a diagnosis but also resources for us as a family. Months after her report was finished, I called her when I needed guidance, and she was incredibly helpful. Jana’s fees are on average with other providers (perhaps lower than most), and worth every dollar. If you need someone who understands what you’re going through and will walk with you through your child’s diagnosis and next steps, Jana is the person to call.

Parent

Jana Parker was fantastic through the entire process. She was great in making our kid feel comfortable, very prompt and clear in answering our questions on the process, and provided thoughtful and helpful suggestions. We really appreciated all the efforts she took to help and would highly recommend her to anyone.
