Autism evaluations can be initiated by parents or through a referral from your child’s pediatrician/physician. CAC will determine if your insurance covers the evaluation prior to scheduling an assessment.
Our multi-disciplinary diagnostics team is located on-site at our Round Rock location, and consists of psychologists, psychological associates, SLPs and BCBAs. We assess children and adults from 18 months to 17 years of age using comprehensive evaluation measures including the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule- 2nd Edition (ADOS-2), behavioral checklists, structed clinical interviews including the Vineland and clinical observations.
Assessments evaluate:
- Developmental and medical history
- Cognitive abilities
- Social skills and development
- Emotional and behavioral functioning and regulation
- Communication and language abilities
- Adaptive behaviors
Evaluation for ABA services with Children’s Autism Center
After your insurance is verified and benefits are discussed, you will meet with our Clinical Director to discuss your child’s health and developmental history as well as therapy expectations. This initial meeting is followed by an Assessment which is scheduled and conducted by one of our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). The Assessment is approximately 2 hours and includes the use of the Verbal Behavior Milestone Assessment & Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to assess and select developmental appropriate goals in the communication, adaptive, social and behavior domains. A comprehensive report is written along with an individualized treatment plan and program for your child. After discussing with you, treatment can begin.
