Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child already has an autism diagnosis from their school?

A medical diagnosis of autism is required in order for insurance to authorize ABA services. If the child only has a diagnosis through the school, another diagnostic evaluation will need to be completed in order to obtain ABA services.

What if my child’s pediatrician will not refer my child to be tested for autism?

A doctor referral is not needed if parents choose to use private pay instead of billing through insurance.

Who does the testing?

Diagnostic testing is conducted by our licensed Clinical Psychologist.

What are the age requirements for testing?

We test up to the age of 12.
