Early intervention has been shown to lead to beneficial outcome. If you believe your child may have Autism, the first step is to speak with your pediatrician or family doctor about your concerns. They may arrange or recommend that your child undergo an assessment to determine whether an official diagnosis can be made. If government funding (FSCD) is not available for your child, please feel free to consult with us regarding private autism assessment.
