Autism Diagnostic Evaluation NJ

Evaluations at Our Newark Center

Children’s Specialized ABA offers comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluations for children up to age 6 at our Newark center. Evaluations are conducted in English by a licensed psychologist using the ADOS-2, CARS-2, and ADI-R, the same gold-standard tools used in academic medical centers.
Most New Jersey families receive an appointment within two weeks.

After the evaluation, you receive a detailed written diagnostic report accepted by NJ school districts and health insurers. If your child receives a diagnosis, our Newark center also provides ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, so your family can continue care in the same location with the same team.

Evaluations are conducted in English only. If your family needs interpreter support for care coordination or the parent interview, let us know when scheduling.
