Early identification of developmental differences can make a significant impact on a child’s long-term growth. In Mokena, Illinois, Dr. Michelle C. Delehant, Ph.D., Inc. offers comprehensive autism testing for children. This testing helps families find answers, understand behaviors, and access appropriate supports with confidence.

How does autism testing work?

Each assessment is thoughtfully designed to reflect the individual child’s strengths and challenges. The process includes:

• Clinical interviews with caregivers
• The use of research-backed diagnostic tools
• Direct, developmentally appropriate observation of the child’s communication style, behavior patterns, and social engagement

These methods ensure that findings are both thorough and meaningful, helping clarify whether symptoms align with autism spectrum disorder.

The Importance of Autism Testing

Beyond diagnosis, the evaluation process provides families with a detailed profile of the child’s cognitive, emotional, and adaptive functioning. This foundation supports tailored recommendations for therapeutic services, school accommodations, or home-based strategies that address specific developmental needs.

Dr. Delehant’s practice serves children of various ages and developmental stages, including toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Appointments are available both in a welcoming Mokena office setting and through secure telehealth platforms, offering flexibility for busy families or those with accessibility needs.
