Diagnosing HFA 

  • Developmental Monitoring by tracking when or whether a child reaches the milestones that are expected by his or her age.

  • Developmental Screening is done by a professional to assess a child's milestones and behaviors to identify potential developmental delays.

  • Developmental diagnosis is a comprehensive evaluation of a child's physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development to determine the presence of any developmental disorders or conditions.

An autism diagnosis does not mean that the student will be eligible for services under IDEA!
