We firmly believe that the “wait and see” approach is outdated as it could potentially impact a child’s overall communication and academic performance in the long term. Instead of waiting, we recommend booking an evaluation so a communication expert (speech language pathologist) can guide you and provide strategies to support your child’s overall communication development. 

During our appointments, our clinicians will observe your child in diverse structured and play-based activities. During such observations your clinician will identify if there are any significant traits related to a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and/or any other developmental disorder. Should there be any characteristics, your clinician will kindly walk you through the steps to book an evaluation with a neurologist to rule out a diagnosis (if any). Please note that our Speech Language Pathologists are not trained to provide an ASD diagnosis but they are ethically bound to report any traits to you (this information will solely be shared with you) so parents can discuss them with their neurology team. 

Absolutely, we love when parents join our sessions. Only 1 parent will be encouraged to join our sessions as we want to avoid distractions. 

Siblings may not join sessions to avoid distractions.
