What this is, in plain language
Comprehensive autism evaluations for children and adolescents who need a diagnosis or want an existing one confirmed; physicians assess social interaction, communication, behaviour, and emotional, cognitive, sensory and adaptive functioning.
Getting started
The provider's own page says appointment waits may run six months or more due to high demand, and that its post-diagnosis clinic is currently closed to the general public because of funding, even for children diagnosed here. Bring school paperwork (IEP or 504 plan, FIE), completed Vanderbilt forms and any prior evaluation results to the appointment.
