How can parents support social and language development at home?

Parents can support communication by modeling simple language, using gestures or visuals, creating predictable routines, and encouraging play-based interactions. Access Autism Testing provides parent coaching to integrate these strategies into daily life.

What are common signs of social or communication challenges in autism?

Some signs include limited eye contact, repetitive speech, challenges with peer interaction, or difficulty understanding tone and facial expressions. A professional evaluation can clarify your child’s unique communication profile.

Can autism assessments be done virtually?

Yes. Access Autism Testing provides comprehensive virtual autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults across Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. The telehealth process is convenient, personalized, and strength-focused.
