## Autism & Developmental Evaluations

Up to age 17

Psychological and neurodevelopmental evaluations in Torrance for autism spectrum disorder and developmental concerns, with age-appropriate testing at each stage. Infants and toddlers receive Early Start and Harbor Regional Center evaluations (service code 056) to determine regional center eligibility and early intervention services. School-age children and adolescents receive testing that supports IEP or 504 accommodations, insurance coverage and private therapies. Families can come by Harbor Regional Center referral, with the report sent to HRC, or directly by private pay, insurance or school referral. A 15 to 20 minute consultation covers needs and insurance benefits or a private-pay quote. Results are explained to the family in a feedback session.
