AUTISM DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
"A Speech and Language Pathologist who has been trained in the clinical criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders and who is experienced in the diagnosis of developmental disorders, may be qualified to diagnose these disorders as an independent professional" (ASHA).
It is important that any individual who is diagnosing have training and education in the diagnosis, have probable cause (doctor and/or parent reports) and who works with individuals diagnosed with the disorder to properly give a statement of diagnosis. Here at The Griffin Promise we have two trained SLP Professionals who are experienced in Autism Disorders, as well as, trained to give the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule evaluation which can help in diagnosing Autism and ASD

Therapy
We offer both insurance and cash pay sessions. Our lead speech pathologist will work on developing goals with your team for your child/client. We have a special playroom design that encourages engagement with our therapists. We video every session to allow for one one one training and review of sessions with caregivers monthly.
We believe that it takes a team to help our clients on their journey. Because autism and other social disorders vary from person to person, research has shown that the amount of time a person can engage in one on one interaction through these methods the more improvements are shown.
Our approach is for our clients to have a team of caregivers, therapists, teachers, volunteers, etc. that will be part of their journey. That is why our clinic not only offers therapy sessions but training for your team so that each client is given the best opportunity for growth.
