What this is, in plain language
The Goldman Center of Chicago provides autism assessment and diagnosis for children, using tools such as the ADOS-2 across a parent intake meeting, an in-person testing session, and a feedback meeting, then connects families to therapy providers such as ABA, speech and occupational therapy through its affiliated network.
Getting started
Families start with a 'Get Started' intake form, selecting their insurance (including Medicaid, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna or United); a one-hour virtual parent intake meeting comes first, followed by an in-person testing session about a week later and a feedback meeting roughly two weeks after that.
