When it comes to getting answers about your child’s development, we know how stressful the process can be. That’s why we’ve designed our home-based autism diagnostics clinic to be as convenient, thorough, and supportive as possible. Partnering with Bloom Pediatrics, our program brings together compassionate experts and evidence-based practices—right to your doorstep. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect.
Step 1: Fill Out an Intake Form
Before we meet, we need to get to know your child—and no one knows them better than you! Our intake form is designed to gather detailed information about your child’s communication, social skills, behavior, and any specific concerns you may have. This helps our team determine what kind of evaluation is necessary and ensures we tailor the experience to your child’s unique needs.
TIP: Don’t hold back! Share as much as you can—the more we know, the better we can help.
Step 2: Schedule Your In-Home Evaluation
Say goodbye to long clinic wait times and unfamiliar exam rooms! We’ll come directly to your home with our expert team: a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA), an occupational therapist (OT), and a speech-language pathologist (SLP). Our evaluation includes the ADOS-2, a gold-standard assessment tool for autism.
Expect the session to last up to 120 minutes. We use play-based interactions, structured tasks, and natural observations to gather a comprehensive understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges.
Step 3: Schedule a Physician Exam
Your child’s health is an important part of the diagnostic puzzle. If your child hasn’t seen their primary care physician in the last year, you’ll need to schedule a physical exam. Good news: our program includes a physician visit, or you can opt to see your own doctor—whichever works best for you.
Step 4: Review Results with Our Team
After we’ve gathered all the information, our team meets to review the findings. We look at everything holistically to make an informed diagnosis. Then, it’s time to sit down with you—either virtually or in person—to discuss the results, share a recommended action plan, and answer any questions you may have.
We also make it a priority to collaborate with your child’s healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care.
Flexible Pricing Options
We believe every family should have access to the support they need. That’s why we offer three pricing options to fit a variety of budgets. Transparency is key, and we’ll walk you through your choices so you can select the option that best meets your family’s needs.
