Autism Evaluation in Miami and Orlando
Aldea matches Miami and Orlando families with licensed autism evaluators, including bilingual providers, for a full evaluation built around your child, not a rushed checklist.
Licensed Psychologist, PsyD
3-year-old, autism evaluation
If a pediatrician or teacher has said "let's wait and see" more than once, you're allowed to stop waiting.
Your child doesn't consistently respond to their name, make eye contact, or engage in back-and-forth play.
Little to no spoken language for their age, or words and phrases your child had before that have gone quiet.
Meltdowns or distress when a routine shifts, even in small ways that wouldn't seem to matter.
Hand-flapping, lining up objects, or a fixation on one topic or activity well beyond typical interest.
Someone outside the family has already named a concern that matches what you've been noticing.
You've raised this before and been asked to wait, while the thing you noticed hasn't gone away.
A real evaluation builds a full picture of your child, not a five-minute impression in a waiting room.
How your child connects, responds to their name, makes eye contact, and engages in back-and-forth play.
Patterns like lining up objects, repeated movements, or an intense focus on a narrow set of interests.
How your child responds to sound, texture, light, and other sensory input compared to typical development.
Both spoken language and nonverbal communication, evaluated separately when a delay is present.
How your child thinks, learns, and manages daily living skills relative to their age.
ADHD, anxiety, and other conditions that often accompany autism and shape the right plan going forward.
No calling around, no long hold, and no more wondering if anyone is actually going to help.
Answer a few questions about your child's needs, concerns, and the support you are looking for.
We help you find vetted pediatric providers who fit your child's needs, location, and preferences.
Connect with the provider that feels right for your family and begin your care journey.
A real evaluation is a multi-step process, not a single test or a quick checklist.
A detailed look at your child's development from birth, including milestones, behaviors, and your specific concerns. Your observations matter here.
A structured play and interaction session, considered the gold-standard tool for observing communication, social behavior, and play patterns directly.
Standardized measures of cognitive ability and adaptive behavior, giving a full picture of how your child functions day to day.
Where speech or language delays are present, a language assessment is included or a referral to a speech-language pathologist is made.
Findings, a diagnosis if applicable, and specific next-step recommendations, not just a verbal summary on your way out the door.
Standard English-only testing can underestimate bilingual children. Aldea's network in Miami and Orlando includes evaluators experienced in assessing bilingual kids accurately, in English and Spanish.
