Developmental Assessments at the Mailman Segal Center
The Developmental Assessment Clinic provides comprehensive assessment services for children evidencing developmental delays or symptoms on the autism spectrum. Support services are also available for families with a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Two levels of service are available:
Diagnostic Services: Psychodevelopmental evaluations are provided for children 18 months– 5 years suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), exhibiting developmental delays, or experiencing early childhood behavioral difficulties. Additionally, the clinic serves adolescents with a prior diagnosis of ASD and/or developmental disabilities for reassessment purposes.
Autism Education Program: The information provided to families for ASD intervention can be both overwhelming and, often times, inaccurate. Caregivers struggle to discern quality programs that are evidence-based from those that have little to no success.To address this need, the clinic offers a series of community-based, ongoing seminars and one-on-one caregiver follow-up sessions to assist in determining the next steps after diagnosis.
For more information, please contact Sacha Drepaul or call (954) 262-CARE.
