Autism Diagnostic Testing - Westside Children’s Therapy

Comprehensive, Virtual Autism Diagnostic Testing, Delivered at No Cost

Early answers can change everything.

We designed our S.A.I.L. (Swift Autism Identification & Link) diagnostic program to reduce long waits and make it easier for families to get the answers they need.

• A 100% telehealth experience from start to finish
• Testing to be completed in 2–3 days, with results ready shortly after
• Care led by a licensed clinical psychologist
• A formal, insurance-approved diagnosis when criteria are met
• Clear guidance on next steps, supported by a dedicated Family Navigator

This is No-Cost & No-Commitment:
Here’s Why

Early support matters. We provide families with timely, no-strings-attached testing because:

• Technology Finally Allows Us to Do Better: Today, we can gather developmental information with the same clinical accuracy as in-person care, faster & more securely with telehealth.
• Less Paperwork, Faster Access: Since our diagnostic test is free of charge, you can skip the insurance hassles that slow down care.
• You Know Your Child Best: Every child’s needs are unique. We never pressure families to begin care with Westside.

Many families first notice small differences in how their child communicates, plays, or responds to the world around them.

You may be noticing things like:

• Limited or inconsistent eye contact
• Difficulty responding to name or social cues
• Delayed speech, gestures, or communication
• Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine
• Repetitive movements or repeated behaviors (e.g., hand flapping, lining up toys)
• Strong focus on specific interests or objects
• Preference for playing alone or parallel play

If you’re noticing some of these behaviors and want help deciding what to do next, you can start with a short screening.

We will never hand you a report and leave you to figure out what comes next. When results are ready, we translate them into a clear, practical plan that shows exactly what to do next. This may include:

• Referrals to trusted providers
• Direct access to medical, behavioral, or speech services with Westside
• Therapy or testing recommendations
• Community resources and parent support
• Guidance on financial programs and assistance

We support children with autism and other developmental needs through coordinated therapies that focus on the whole child—not just one area of concern.

We will verify your insurance and explain any potential costs for therapy up front, so there are no surprises.

We provide autism diagnostic testing for children from the early toddler years through age 13.

Some children show clear developmental patterns that can be evaluated as early as 16–18 months, while others may need a bit more time for certain skills to emerge.

If you’re unsure whether now is the right time, we’re happy to talk through what you’re noticing and help you decide whether to move forward or wait a little longer.

Our autism diagnostic testing is provided at no cost and does not require insurance.

If you choose to move forward with therapy services at Westside, we are in-network with 100+ insurance plans to help make ongoing care accessible and affordable.

You’ll need an electronic device with a camera, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space. Our licensed clinical psychologist will send instructions before your appointment, so you’re fully prepared.

Our virtual assessment includes two main components, usually lasting 1–2 hours, all done through secure telehealth:
