Our Chattanooga clinic is pleased to offer autism evaluations for children ages 18 months to 5 years old. An official diagnosis is required before starting therapy, and at Siskin, families can receive an autism diagnosis in Chattanooga within 1-2 months compared to the 6-12 months most families encounter. If you are concerned about your child’s development and would like an autism evaluation, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Siskin to get started.
