    Autism and the Diagnostic Process

    Autism and the Diagnostic Process

    In this episode, we welcome Dr. Kyle John, Dr. Raymund Tan, and Dr. Lindsey Reichert to the podcast! They are vital to the team at The Arc of the Ozarks Autism & Neurodevelopmental Center in Springfield, Missouri. The center is a new resource in our community that provides timely support, diagnostics, interventions, and many other resources.  

     In our discussion, we dive into the process of obtaining a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. How do families initiate a diagnostic appointment? What diagnostic tools are utilized during the process? Should families wait for a diagnosis before beginning treatments? The panel of doctors will answer these questions and many more. Please join us for this informative discussion!
