Cleveland Autism Testing at Therapy and Wellness Connection
At Therapy and Wellness Connection, we’re proud to expand our services to include Cleveland autism testing. For families, finding answers and support can feel overwhelming and learning of long waitlists in the Northeast Ohio area may only add to that stress. Our goal is to provide a timely, compassionate, and comprehensive evaluation process that helps children and their caregivers understand strengths, challenges, and the best path forward.
Why Autism Testing Matters
Early and accurate diagnosis is the key in helping children access the right support. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can present in many different ways: some children may struggle with communication or social skills, while others may experience sensory sensitivities or behavioral differences. Identifying your child’s needs at a young age is crucial. Early identification leads to early intervention: the sooner your child receives skilled services for their needs, the better their prognosis.
By offering autism testing in Cleveland and surrounding areas, we’re helping families in Northeast Ohio:
- Receive more timely diagnoses, resulting in access to early intervention
- Gain clarity about their child’s development
- Access tailored therapies such as speech, occupational, or ABA therapy
- Receive recommendations for school supports and community resources (we love Milestones Autism Resources)
- Create a roadmap for long-term growth and success
Our Approach to Autism Testing
Our team uses evidence-based assessment tools and a family-centered approach. We understand that no two children are alike, which is why our testing process is individualized and sensitive to your child’s unique needs.
The evaluation may include a caregiver interview to obtain developmental history and caregiver input, structured play or interaction-based assessments, standardized testing tools (ADOS-2), and clinical observations of communication, behavior, and social interaction.
The process of Cleveland autism testing at Therapy and Wellness Connection is simple:
- Contact us and complete your onboarding
- Schedule your child’s assessment
- Spend about an hour in our facility for completion of the formal evaluation
- Attend a virtual meeting with one of our trusted physicians from Zest Pediatric Network
- Meet with your evaluator to discuss your child’s results and the next best steps
As with any of our evaluations, we provide a thorough report and review the results with you. This ensures that every caregiver leaves with both answers and a clear plan for their child’s future.
Why Choose Therapy and Wellness Connection?
Families trust us because we offer more than just an evaluation – we offer ongoing support. Regardless of your child’s evaluation results, our center provides speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, ABA, academic intervention, and more – all under one roof.
That means you don’t have to navigate multiple providers. Instead, you’ll have a coordinated team working together to help your child thrive.
