Step 2: Complete Your Intake Packet.
You will receive an email with directions on how to complete additional intake forms required for further evaluation. Please gather the following items:
- Insurance documentation
- IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or 504 plan if you have one.
- Copy of any school evaluations done to determine school services or IEP.
- Any other previous clinical evaluations.
Step 3: Clinical Review Call
Within several weeks of receiving the completed intake packet and records, our intake team will reach out to confirm if MAC is an appropriate fit for your family. We will answer questions you may have regarding the assessment process.
Step 4: Schedule your diagnostic assessment(s)
Our intake staff will contact you to schedule your appointment. Separate appointments will be needed for the autism diagnostic assessment and the clinical services assessment. Even if you have a previous autism diagnosis, you may still need both assessments.
For questions, wait times, or support with intake forms, please contact our assessment team.
