What this is, in plain language

Comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluation and recommendations for support, plus ABA-based therapy and speech-language pathology for infants through adolescents.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • University of Washington Autism Centre's Tacoma Satellite provides autism evaluations for infants, children and adolescents, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, behaviour analysts and speech-language pathologists.
  • Assessments include recommendations for support, intervention and educational or vocational planning.
  • Clinical services include ABA-based therapy through the ABA LAUNCH programme and outpatient speech-language pathology.
  • The centre is a Washington Health Care Authority Center of Excellence for Medicaid, with direct contracts for straight Medicaid and Molina; other Medicaid managed care plans need a pre-authorised single case agreement, decided case by case. Some insurance plans do not cover its services.
