Evaluations at Kids BRAIN
At Kids BRAIN, we provide thorough and compassionate evaluations to support neurodivergent children and their families. Our evaluations are designed to be comprehensive yet approachable, offering valuable insights in a supportive and family-centered environment.
Toddler and Preschool Autism Evaluations
Our Toddler and Preschool Autism Evaluations are tailored for young children, using a play and activity-based approach to ensure comfort and engagement. Conducted in a warm and friendly setting, these evaluations are designed to identify autism spectrum characteristics in children as young as 18 months.
What to expect...
- A multi-faceted appointment that is tailored to your child’s developmental abilities and needs. Younger children often take less time, but each child plays, works, and builds connections with others at their own rate and we meet them where they are.
- Observations during play and structured activities, providing a natural environment to assess developmental milestones.
- A detailed report with diagnostic impressions, insights into your child’s strengths, and recommendations for next steps, including support services or accommodations.
Follow-Up Autism Evaluations
Children who have been previously diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder often require updated testing over time in order to continue to receive therapy and educational services. Follow-Up Autism Evaluations are less intensive than initial assessments, offering ongoing support for children who have already received a diagnosis. These evaluations are often performed for insurance purposes or to update existing documentation.
Key features:
- Streamlined evaluations focusing on tracking developmental progress or confirming continued eligibility for services.
- Professional, updated reports tailored to meet insurance or school requirements.
- A collaborative process, ensuring that parents and caregivers feel informed and supported throughout.
At Kids BRAIN, our goal is to provide families with the clarity and confidence they need to help their children thrive. Whether it’s a first-time diagnosis or a follow-up evaluation, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
