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.

Autism Testing and Family Support in Orlando, Florida

Virtual Autism Evaluations, Parent Consultation, and Support Groups for Families Across Florida

Families in Orlando and throughout Central Florida often look for trusted, compassionate guidance when exploring whether autism may be part of their child’s, teen’s, or adult’s profile. At Access Autism Testing, we provide comprehensive virtual autism evaluations, personalized parent consultations, training/workshops and support groups designed to help families find answers and feel supported every step of the way.

Our services are available statewide across Florida — including Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Kissimmee, Clermont, and nearby areas — through secure telehealth.

Virtual Autism Testing

Our online autism evaluations are conducted by a licensed psychologist (License #12817) with deep experience in identifying autism across the lifespan.

Every evaluation includes:

A thorough virtual diagnostic interview
Parent, teacher, or self-report questionnaires
Structured observation and evidence-based measures
A detailed, strength-based written report
A one-on-one feedback session reviewing results and next steps

Our goal is to help each client understand their unique profile — not just reach a diagnosis — and to provide families with practical, individualized recommendations that make sense for everyday life.

Parent Consultation

Understanding your child’s needs can be overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone. Our parent consultation services offer professional insight and realistic strategies to help you:

Strengthen communication and social engagement at home
Encourage independence and emotional regulation
Learn how to collaborate effectively with schools and providers
Understand what supports and therapies may be most beneficial

Consultations are conducted virtually and can be scheduled as single sessions or ongoing support, depending on your family’s needs.

Parent Support Groups

Parenting a neurodivergent child is easier with a supportive community. Our virtual parent support groups connect Orlando families with others across Florida for encouragement, insight, and shared understanding.

Each group includes:

Guided discussions led by a licensed psychologist
Emotional support and practical strategies
Opportunities to share experiences and build community

These groups provide a space where families can learn, connect, and grow together.

Training/Workshops

Access Autism Testing also offers virtual training sessions and workshops for parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals who want to better understand and support individuals on the autism spectrum.

Our workshops cover topics such as:

Recognizing early signs of autism
Creating supportive home and classroom environments
Strength-based approaches to learning and behavior
Communication and social skill development
Supporting mental health and emotional regulation
