How we can
help
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation process that involves various healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, child psychologists, developmental pediatricians, and neurologists. The diagnostic process may include the following components:
Developmental Screening: Pediatricians often conduct routine developmental screenings during well-child visits to monitor a child’s growth and development. If any concerns are raised during these screenings, further evaluation for autism may be recommended. Moreover, this additional evaluation is crucial for ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
Early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can vary widely among children, but some common indicators may include:
Limited or No Eye Contact: Infants may avoid making eye contact with caregivers during interactions, or they may have difficulty sustaining eye contact for extended periods. Additionally, this lack of eye contact can be an early warning sign of ASD.
Lack of Social Responsiveness: Babies may not respond to their name being called, show little interest in social interactions, or have limited facial expressions when interacting with others. Furthermore, these behaviors may indicate underlying social and communication challenges.
Yes, insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies by provider and plan. In Illinois, many insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) under state law. Furthermore, steps for obtaining coverage typically include verifying insurance coverage, obtaining a diagnosis, requesting a referral or authorization, finding an in-network ABA provider, submitting documentation, reviewing coverage details, and initiating therapy services.
