Navigating the journey of autism diagnosis for your child can feel overwhelming. At Banner Health Center, we understand the importance of starting this process with the right support.

The first crucial step in any autism treatment plan is obtaining an official diagnosis. Unlike other medical conditions, diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relies on a comprehensive evaluation rather than a single test. Our team of qualified diagnosticians specializes in assessing developmental histories and observing current behaviors to provide accurate diagnoses.

Recognizing symptoms and seeking diagnosis early is key. By age 2, a diagnosis from an experienced professional can be reliable, with early intervention yielding the best outcomes for your child’s lifelong journey. Moreover, early diagnosis grants access to vital services and supports, assisting your child in various aspects of life, including academics, social interactions, and beyond.
