Diagnostic Services

Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations are offered free of charge to people within our catchment area to determine eligibility for services. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, people are assessed in several different developmental areas in order to determine the presence of an intellectual/developmental disability and make recommendations regarding appropriate service needs.
