Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior and difficulties with social skills. “Spectrum” refers to the fact that people with autism present with an array of symptoms, skills, and levels of disability and functioning. In order to achieve the most accurate diagnosis, we use The Autism Diagnostic Observation Scheduled (ADOS), which is considered the gold standard. An interdisciplinary approach is used by a speech language pathologist and a psychologist to administer the ADOS. In addition, a full comprehensive cognitive assessment is conducted by the psychologist.

I contacted Khan due to concerns regarding my 2 year old daughter’s social communication. They responded promptly to my request for an assessment and clearly explained what to expect. My daughter is typically nervous around new people but Khan's SLP was calm and warm and her presence put my daughter at ease right away.

Following the assessment, Khan provided a comprehensive report. One of my daughter's physicians even commented on how impressed they were by the level of detail provided in the Khan report. My daughter, now 3, continues to see our SLP at Khan for therapy sessions. She is so excited that she waits by the window before each session to see what fun and engaging activities are in store for her. We are so thankful for all the support provided by Khan Communication Services!
