Autism Diagnostic Testing

At Aspire Child & Family Services, our goal is to partner with your family to navigate developmental, emotional or mental health difficulties, and we strive to help optimize functioning across various settings by providing quality, comprehensive care.

What Is Autism Diagnostic Testing?

Autism diagnostic testing is a comprehensive evaluation used to determine whether a child meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). At Aspire Child & Family Services, we utilize gold-standard tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS 2), along with other assessments deemed appropriate, to ensure a thorough and accurate diagnosis.

These evaluations help families understand their child’s unique strengths and challenges, leading to earlier intervention and more effective support strategies.


Who Is This Evaluation For?

  • Children and adolescents under age 21
  • Individuals showing signs of developmental delays or social-communication challenges
  • Families seeking a second opinion or school-based support documentation
  • Those referred by pediatricians, schools, or behavioral health professionals

We serve families in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, and surrounding areas.


What to Expect During the Evaluation

  1. Initial Intake & Parent Interview: A licensed psychologist gathers background information and developmental history.
  2. Direct Testing Session: Using tools like the ADOS 2, we assess communication, social skills, play, and repetitive behaviors.
  3. Cognitive & Adaptive Testing: Additional assessments may include the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC V) and Adaptive Behavior Scales.
  4. Feedback & Diagnosis: Families receive a written report and a feedback session to discuss results, diagnosis, and next steps.
