Supporting Families Through Every Step of the Evaluation Process
At CST Academy, we understand that pursuing an autism evaluation can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process calm, supportive, and informative for every family. Evaluations are completed in a welcoming, child-friendly environment where clinicians take the time to understand your child’s unique profile. Families receive detailed reports, clear explanations, and compassionate recommendations. Whether it’s your first evaluation or a second opinion, our team is here to help you make the best decisions for your child’s growth and well-being.
Our evaluations are designed to identify autism spectrum disorder and other developmental concerns with accuracy and care. Using evidence-based tools and direct observation, our clinicians assess communication, social interaction, play, and behavior to build a complete understanding of your child.
After the evaluation, families meet one-on-one with our clinical team to discuss results and recommendations. We take time to explain every detail, answer your questions, and guide you toward the most appropriate therapies and supports for your child.
CST Academy’s multidisciplinary model means families don’t have to navigate next steps alone. Once your child’s evaluation is complete, our team can coordinate therapy across ABA, speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapy programs — all under one roof for a smooth and supportive transition into care.
Every child’s journey begins with understanding. Our clinicians and client success team are dedicated to helping families access evaluations and follow-up services as easily as possible. From insurance verification to scheduling, CST Academy is here to make the process stress-free and family-focused.
