The Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE) is the national practice standard necessary to diagnose autism as well as other developmental or behavioral disorders and indicate the most appropriate treatment(s) to address the child’s needs. A CDE is a thorough review and assessment of the child’s development and behavior. It may be performed by a multidisciplinary team or an individual practitioner.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a scientifically validated approach that focuses on improving specific behaviors, such as social skills, communication, reading, and academics, as well as adaptive learning skills, such as fine motor dexterity, hygiene, grooming, domestic capabilities, punctuality, and job competence.

The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your child’s individual needs and the recommendations made during the assessment. Typically, ABA therapy is conducted multiple times a week for several hours each session.
