AUTISM TESTING
We offer comprehensive autism assessments for children using gold-standard tools, including:
​
-
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), Second Edition
-
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition
The ADOS-2 is the most widely recognized tool for autism diagnosis and must be administered by a master’s-level clinician who has completed formal ADOS training. All evaluations conducted at our facility meet those professional standards.
Each evaluation includes:
-
a one-hour intake session
-
a two-hour assessment appointment
-
scoring
-
detailed clinical report you can take to your child’s primary care provider for signature to obtain an official diagnosis, should the provider agree with our findings
​
Our assessments are designed to give families clarity, actionable insights, and a clear path forward—whether for school planning, therapy coordination, or understanding your child’s developmental profile.
​
Appointments are available year-round, with significantly shorter wait times than other area testing facilities and without the hassle of having to drive to Nashville or Chattanooga. Families may schedule directly online.
​​
Insurance is not billed for this service; the fee is $500, payable on the day of testing. A $100 deposit is required at the time of booking, which will be applied to the balance.
​
​​If you have multiple children needing evaluation, please complete a separate request for each.
