Choose
Your Path
If you’re seeking an initial assessment for autism or intellectual and developmental disabilities or already have a diagnosis and seeking a second opinion take our no-cost screener.
Awareness Is the First Step to Acceptance
Our behavioral health experts carefully developed the screener using evidence-based research and years of real-world experience. While it’s not a formal diagnosis, it is a good first step to getting treatment or getting a second opinion if you already have a diagnosis.
The screener consists of 10–30 questions and should take 10 minutes or less to complete. You will receive the results immediately and can then decide if a formal evaluation is needed.
Key Steps
Do you suspect you or your loved one may have autism?
We’re here to guide you forward. Together, we’ll take clear, thoughtful steps to help you navigate the path you choose with confidence.
Step one
Complete the online screener.
Since there are no biomedical tests available to detect autism, our online screener is a great first step toward getting an initial evaluation or a second opinion.
Step Two
Schedule a formal consultation.
Based on your screener results, you may have the opportunity to schedule a formal consultation with a member of Catalight’s team or you can reach out to your trusted healthcare provider.
Step Three
Find out if you have a qualifying diagnosis.
A formal diagnosis is necessary for treatment. Catalight or your healthcare provider can evaluate communication, social interactions, and behavior, and provide a detailed report with the results.
Step Four
Develop a treatment plan.
Depending on the results, Catalight or your healthcare provider will work with you to develop an initial care plan and treatment goals.
