How much is it to get a child tested for autism?

Does Utah Medicaid cover autism testing?

We accept every Utah Medicaid plan, including Healthy U, Molina, SelectHealth Community Care and Health Choice Utah, plus EMI Health and CHAMPVA. Most families pay little or nothing out of pocket with Medicaid, and our insurance experts handle all the paperwork before your child's evaluation.

How long is the wait for an autism evaluation?

There is no clinic waitlist for evaluations. You don't have to wait months for answers; one quick call is the first step.

Who does the autism testing, and what happens at the visit?

One visit with one of our in-house licensed psychologists, and you are part of all of it. We talk with you about your child's story and your concerns, use trusted tools to understand how your child communicates, plays and behaves, and watch your child play with a few favorite toys. You leave with clear answers and a plan for what comes next.

What is the difference between an autism screening and an autism evaluation?

An autism screening is a short checklist, often done at your pediatrician's office, that shows whether a child should be looked at more closely. A screening cannot diagnose autism. An autism evaluation is the full visit with a licensed psychologist that can. If a screening has raised concerns, the next step is a full autism evaluation. Our in-house licensed psychologists provide thorough evaluations with clear diagnostic reports, and there is no waitlist for testing.

Can your psychologists give my child an autism diagnosis?

Yes. Your child's autism evaluation is done by one of our in-house licensed psychologists, who can diagnose autism. You leave with clear answers, a diagnostic report and a plan for what comes next.

My child has few or no words. Can they still be evaluated?

Yes. Many of the children we evaluate have few or no words. The psychologist watches how your child plays, communicates and behaves, and talks with you about what you see at home, so your child does not need to answer questions.

What happens after the evaluation?

Evaluation first, then ABA: when your child is diagnosed with autism and ABA is clinically recommended, we move straight into the initial assessment and ABA at our Murray center, full-day or part-day, with full-day options if clinically recommended, and one caring team guides you the whole way.
