What exactly does the ADOS measure? 💭

The ADOS-2 is one of the most widely used tools in autism evaluations because it allows clinicians to directly observe social communication, interaction, and behaviors associated with autism in a structured, standardized way.

The assessment provides valuable information, including an algorithm score, comparison (severity) score, and detailed clinical observations, but it is only one piece of a comprehensive evaluation. A diagnosis is made by integrating ADOS results with developmental history, caregiver input, interviews, rating scales, and clinical expertise.

Understanding what the ADOS measures can help families feel more informed and confident throughout the evaluation process.

Every child develops at their own pace, but some signs may warrant a closer look.

If you’ve noticed delays in communication, social interaction, play skills, or other developmental milestones, an evaluation can provide valuable insight and, if needed, early support.

Early identification isn’t about labels, it’s about giving children the opportunity to thrive.

Worrywell has NO WAITLIST for toddler evaluations!

Had our bi-monthly book club meeting tonight, hosted by Dr. Lau! What a great mystery read to ease us into the summer season. Have you read this one? Let us know what you thought!

Adult friendships require more than love, they require action. 🤍

Most of us are carrying full schedules, responsibilities, and endless to-do lists. Sometimes the difference between a friendship that fades and one that grows is simply someone taking the first step.

Juneteenth is more than just a day on the calendar, it’s a reminder of resilience, progress, and the ongoing work toward equity and justice.

Today we honor the past, reflect on the present, and commit to a better future.

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you’ve noticed concerns with your child’s socialization, communication, play skills, or developmental milestones, it’s okay to ask questions and seek support.

Early evaluation can provide valuable insight, guidance, and resources to help your child reach their full potential.
You don’t have to wait until you’re certain something is
“wrong.” Your concerns are worth exploring.

If you’ve been wondering whether your child’s development is on track, reach out to learn more about an evaluation and how we can support your family.

Being friends was never a requirement for working together, but we’re so lucky it happened anyway!

Grateful for a team that makes work more enjoyable and for the friendships that extend beyond the office walls.
