Pediatric Movement Center offers in-person testing for children ages 2 and older to provide vital components and information related to Autism Spectrum Disorder through initial evaluation of Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2. Our evaluations will provide caregivers with valuable insights into your child's proficiency in areas such as communication, play, and social skills. Post evaluations, you will be provided with an ADOS-2 report, social emotional scales and sensory processing evaluation information.
A medical doctor (licensed psychologist, psychiatrist or licensed physician) will use the results of the ADOS-2 with their own assessments to diagnoses for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our team will walk alongside of our families, providing lasting knowledge, techniques, and therapeutic support, which will provide the platform for life long success.
Pediatric Movement Center offers Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) testing at our Aquatics Center located at 1105 Maryland Avenue, Hagerstown, MD 21740. The ADOS-2 in conjunction with a medical doctor evaluation (psychologist, psychiatrist or licensed physician which is currently not offered at PMC) can provide accurate assessment and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
