If a family is concerned about their child's development, they should seek out a professional as soon as possible. Early Intervention is key to long term success. However, before a child can begin services with an ABA provider, they will need to receive a formal Autism Diagnosis.
Who can diagnose?
Developmental Pediatricians (doctors who have special training in child development and children with special needs)
Child Neurologists (doctors who work on the brain, spine, and nerves)
Child Psychologists or Psychiatrists (doctors who know about the human mind)
What assessments are used you diagnose Autism?
GARS (Gilliam Autism Rating Scale)
CARS (Childhood Autism Rating Scale)
ADOS II (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule)
