Description
The Autism Diagnostic Clinic uses a telehealth model to serve residents of Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Pike counties. The clinic operates using a telehealth model so that the child is evaluated in their home in familiar surroundings, families do not have to travel for services, and geographic barriers are eliminated. A psychologist and/or developmental nurse practitioner administers the evaluation via teleconference while guiding the parent through activities with the child. Bilingual clinicians are available. Families receive a same-day diagnosis and the service is provided at no cost to families thanks to funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
