Home autism diagnostics clinic
Expert support in a safe space - home. 

Our unique team of specialists offers autism assessments in setting that is both comfortable and familiar or your child - at home. We believe that a non-familiar testing environment can be scary for children, and we want to ensure the most accurate results possible. Once we complete the evaluation and develop a treatment plan, your child can start therapy with our expert clinicians sooner.
