Autism Evaluation
An autism evaluation is a comprehensive, multi-step process conducted by a trained specialist to determine if an individual meets the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR).
The diagnosis relies on observing behavior, gathering developmental history, and using standardized clinical tools. Dr. Gelbar has extensive experience providing Autism evaluations. He utilized the “gold standard” diagnostic measures, including:
Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition
Childhood Autism Rating Scales-Second Edition
Social Responsiveness Scale-Second Edition
Dr. Gelbar tailors the evaluation to your child’s age, developmental level, and other related concerns. For more information on the evaluation process, click here.
