Autism Services at WHOLE

Autism Spectrum Diagnosis, Testing, & ongoing care

For Adults & Children

Autism is a multifaceted spectrum of disorders which is as complex as it is challenging for the medical field as well as patients. At WHOLE Wellness Services, we understand that autism isn't a single condition but a variety of challenges and strengths unique to each individual.  We are comitted to supporting families navigating through autism testing, diagnosis, and subsequent care steps.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of developmental hurdles primarily centered around social communication, confined interests, and habitual behavior.  Recognizing that every person with autism interprets and interacts with the world in a uniquely distinct manner, our approach is far from one-size-fits-all. From the highly functioning to those needing consistent care, WHOLE Wellness is your steadfast partner in Autism diagnosis & treatment Rochester NY

Parents and caregivers often detect the first signs of autism early on, sometimes even before a child's first birthday. These signs become more prominent as the child grows, generally around 2 to 3 years of age. 

Your First Step Should Be Seeking an Evaluation or Screening for Yourself or Your Child.

Early intervention is crucial, and it begins with professional evaluation. At WHOLE Wellness, we offer comprehensive diagnostic assessments and screenings for various conditions, including ASD. Our team understands that getting tested for autism can be a financial burden for many, which is why we provide options suitable for various needs and budgets, such as affordable Autism Spectrum Screenings.

For a fraction of the typical expense, our clients receive detailed insights and recommendations on whether more comprehensive testing is advised. This screening includes dedicated sessions with our specialists, using standardized measures for accurate results.

Please note that all services below are also appropriate for adults.
