Autism Diagnostics and Support
Partnering with individuals and families on your child’s journey to a bright future.
At the Tangram Autism Center, we understand that a diagnosis is not the end; it’s the beginning! It’s the first step in acknowledging and understanding how an individual’s mind works and giving him or her the resources needed to succeed.
Assessment
Whether you are a child, teenager or young adult, Tangram works with an individuals current developmental stage to create a path to understanding their unique qualities. We will conduct a series of scientifically-based, standardized assessments administered by a trained professional to make a diagnosis and to work with family members to understand next steps and valuable resources.
