New at Still Waters: Autism Spectrum Evaluations
In addition to our Comprehensive Testing services, we are now able to offer Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Evaluations.

What are the benefits of an ASD evaluation?
Autism Spectrum evaluation can provide detailed information about what to expect from your child’s development, a deeper understanding about how to support your child and promote development, and access to community and school-based services that can assist you and your child. Testing can also help your provider/s coordinate personalized services based on your needs.
