As parents, we like to think of ourselves as problem solvers. We work hard to provide our children with the resources they need in our homes and their classrooms. But there are some problems we can’t solve on our own. For children to receive the necessary treatment for conditions like ADHD and autism, they first need to have received a professional diagnosis of that condition.
An official diagnosis can feel challenging to come by when doctor’s offices are overwhelmed with requests. Sometimes, patients wait weeks or even months to receive an ADHD diagnosis that would enable their child to receive the necessary treatment to improve their quality of life. You may have found yourself in that situation. If so, we want to help you.
Get Resources Sooner
At AchieveAbility, we’re flipping the script to address this problem. You no longer need to wait 4 to 6 weeks to formally diagnose the condition you’ve suspected all along. We can see your child within two weeks of contacting us, resulting in much less anxious parents.
Expedient service is not just about removing the irritation of waiting for an appointment. However, that is an added benefit! The biggest benefit of speedy scheduling is that your child can access the resources they need faster. That means prescriptions and therapies are at your disposal when you need them, not months later.
Getting tested with AchieveAbility is fast, simple, and totally virtual. You heard that correctly; your child can be professionally assessed for ADHD and autism from the comfort of their own home. No driving around town or waiting in stuffy offices. Here are the three steps to our autism and ADHD testing process.
1. Family Assessment
Our first step is to schedule a virtual meeting with the patient and their parents or primary caregivers. During this meeting, we’ll interview the parents and the child to learn about the symptoms and behaviors that have necessitated the appointment. These meetings are really helpful for us to see how the child interacts with their parents and enable us to begin to develop an understanding of your child and family.
2. Live Online Observation
Over a series of two virtual appointments, our evaluator will meet with your child and observe how they react to certain stimuli, respond to questions, and behave in different scenarios. These meetings are very telling and give our team a unique view into your child’s life. Through our one-on-one online observations, we can better understand your child’s needs and help create an individualized care plan.
3. Diagnostic Report And Next Steps
After your child has participated in two online observation appointments, our team will reconvene with their caregivers to review our findings. During this meeting, we share our diagnostic report and our treatment recommendations. Recommendations will vary and may include therapy or prescription medications. You’ll be given ample opportunity to ask questions and weigh your options.
Our goal as therapists is to help our patients and their families get exactly the treatment they need to live their best lives. That process usually starts with an easy and accurate diagnostic process. Getting your child the care they need shouldn’t be as difficult and frustrating as it sometimes tends to be.
If you’re ready to get real diagnostic results so you can get your child the best care around, AchieveAbility is the place to be. The best way to start this process is to contact us here, and someone from our team will reach out shortly to schedule a discovery call. It’s time to get answers to some of your burning questions.
