The Autism Program at Easterseals currently has a waiting list for autism spectrum disorder assessments.

During this time, our program will continue to accept referrals for screening and clients will be placed on a waiting list. Our staff will continue to provide exceptional support to families, including connecting families with other assessment providers and access to TAP’s outreach services; including training and parent support groups. We continue to make it a top priority to seek grants, fundraising, and donations to reduce this waiting list. Screening and diagnostic services are for children ages 3 – 13 who reside in JoDavies, Lake, Stephenson, Boone, Winnebago, McHenry, Northern Ogle, and Dekalb. We do not provide second opinions or perform re-evaluations.
