Beaming Review
The only good pediatrician there is Dr. Reed, he actually cares about the kids. As for Dr. Conner's and Dr. Susanne Mathis, they need to quit or retire... they don't listen and they don't care what happens to these kids, they change and erase some patients MyChart records.... good thing I still have the paper they give us the after care summary. Dr. Reed is awesome, he saved my daughter's life!

Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
