Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain’s development. It impacts language, social interaction, communication, and play.
Parents often report seeing symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder starting at 18 months old, often peaking at 4-5 years old. It ranges from mild conditions, including a diagnosis previously called Asperger’s Syndrome, to more severe forms, including children being nonverbal and engaging in aggressive behaviors.
Taproot Therapy specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. We use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R).
Both evaluations include a full interview and a thoroughly written report. We then schedule a follow-up appointment to review the results and connect you with services that are appropriate for you and/or your child.

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)
The ADOS provides a systematic and standardized method for identifying children 12 months and above with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This process involves making direct observations under controlled circumstances. ADOS components include standardized scenarios the evaluator walks the child through, including structured conversations, social scenarios, and presses which cue responses.
The interview lasts 40 - 60 minutes and is done either in-person or virtually.
The fee for the Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluation with the ADOS interview, written report, and follow-up appointment, is $650.
