Comprehensive Home Autism Testing
Providing the answers you need today.
Don't wait any longer to get your child's autism diagnosis. In partnership with Speech & Swallowing Specialists of KC, Comprehensive Home Autism Team (CHAT) provides timely evaluations for your child, all without leaving home. Our physician-led team of experts is dedicated to providing the best possible care sooner so your child can flourish both inside and outside of the classroom.

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.
