What a diagnostic evaluation includes
Evaluations typically combine developmental history, standardized assessments, and direct observation of the child. Reports are used by insurance to authorize ABA and by schools to support IEP eligibility.

Getting an Autism Diagnosis in Maryland
An autism diagnosis is the first step to accessing ABA therapy and many other supports in Maryland. Diagnostic evaluations are performed by qualified providers such as developmental pediatricians, licensed psychologists, or neurologists.
After the diagnosis — what's next
Once you have a diagnostic report, share it with ABA Prep during intake. We use it to verify benefits, request prior authorization, and schedule the initial ABA assessment.
