Psychological Evaluations
We also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to assess your child’s strengths and needs. This allows us to develop customized treatment plans that address the whole child, not just their autism diagnosis.
Parent Support Group
We know that caring for a child with autism can be challenging, and we are here to support not just the child, but also the entire family. Our parent support group offers a safe space for parents to share their experiences, learn from each other, and receive guidance from our experienced therapists.
