‍Virtual Diagnostic Options‍

For families looking for convenient, remote evaluation services, we partner with the following virtual diagnostic provider:

1. As You Are
Website: www.asyouare.com  
Services: Virtual autism assessments with licensed professionals. We see kids 16 months-10 years old. No referrals are required. Families will see their dedicated Board-Certified Physician every time. All appointments are conducted via telehealth from the comfort of home. Insurance is accepted.

How It Works:
1. Family schedules the first of three appointments with their dedicated physician.  
2. Family provides basic information like family history, development, and health history using an online questionnaire.  
3. During the results (third) appointment, the physician shares the diagnosis with the family for appropriate care.  
4. Families receive support to help them navigate accessing appropriate care and resources after receiving a diagnosis.
