Autism Assessments

Autism Assessments in Palm Beach County

An autism assessment can provide valuable insight into a child’s development, strengths, and areas where support may be helpful. At Palm Beach Behavioral Health & Wellness, we offer comprehensive autism assessments for children and adolescents throughout Palm Beach County.

Early and accurate identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can help families better understand their child’s needs and access appropriate supports, therapies, and educational planning.

When an Autism Assessment May Be Helpful

Families may consider an autism evaluation when they notice concerns such as:

• Differences in social communication or interaction
• Delayed or atypical language development
• Repetitive behaviors or restricted interests
• Sensory sensitivities
• Challenges with transitions or flexibility

An assessment can help clarify whether these behaviors are related to autism or another developmental or emotional concern.

What to Expect During an Autism Evaluation

Autism assessments at PBBHW are conducted by licensed psychologists and use evidence-based tools and methods. An evaluation may include:

• A detailed developmental and clinical interview
• Standardized assessment measures
• Behavioral observation
• Review of relevant school or medical records (when available)

Following the assessment, families participate in a feedback session to review results and recommendations. A comprehensive written report is provided to support treatment planning, school services, and ongoing care.

Who Benefits From Autism Assessments

Autism evaluations may be helpful for:

• Young children with developmental concerns
• School-age children needing diagnostic clarification
• Families seeking guidance for educational or therapeutic supports

Our team approaches each evaluation with care, respect, and an understanding that every child’s profile is unique.
