Child & Family Development, Inc.
Our Mission
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Clinic
The ASD Diagnostic Clinic is designed to offer timely assessment options and enhance support for families facing the possibility of an ASD diagnosis. Our evaluations are comprehensive, obtaining information about a child''s current functioning across environments and over time. We use a variety of standardized assessment tools, informal measures, parent and teacher rating scales and questionnaires, medical history, as well as information about social/behavioral/developmental history. Each evaluation is designed to address the particular needs of each child and may include cognitive, educational, and adaptive behavior evaluations in addition to the assessment for an ASD.
