Autism Evaluations
If you’re wondering whether your child may be on the autism spectrum,
you're in the right place.
​
I created Infinite Bounds Pediatrics to provide timely autism evaluations so children can access therapy and support sooner. In Colorado Springs, families often wait one to two years for a developmental pediatrician and may spend $2000 to $6000 for an evaluation! My goal is to offer diagnostic clarity, help you understand your child’s unique strengths and challenges, and guide you toward meaningful supports — in the most timely and cost-effective way possible.

When to Consider an Autism Evaluation
Parents often seek an evaluation when they notice their little one:
-
Does not respond to name by 9 months old
-
Limited eye contact or social engagement
-
Delayed speech or language development
-
Does not share interests with others by 15 months of age
-
Does not point to show you something interesting by 18 months of age
-
Repetitive behaviors or intense interests
-
Sensory sensitivities
-
Difficulty with transitions or change
-
Differences in play or peer interaction
-
Concerns raised by teachers or caregivers
Who Our Evaluations Are For
-
Toddlers (approximately 18–24 months)

If you’re unsure whether your child is ready for an evaluation, we’re happy to discuss your concerns during a brief introductory call.
Who Would Not Benefit from our Evaluations
​If your child is medically complex, born before 28 weeks gestational age, or has a genetic condition, I recommend you be evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or psychologist.
