Beyond the Label provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and reevluations for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental or behavioral conditions. Our assessments aim to offer clarity, support, and a path forward for children and families seeking answers.

• An initial evaluation is a comprehensive diagnostic assessment typically done for the first time when autism or another neurodevelopmental concern is suspected.

• A reevaluation is conducted when a child has already been diagnosed and a follow-up assessment is needed—for example, to update the diagnosis, assess progress, or meet educational requirements.

  • Reevaluations are typically required by insurance companies to access certain therapies every 2-3 years.

All evaluations are conducted by our experienced clinicians, Jacquelyn and Natalie—either individually or collaboratively. We combine clinical expertise with empathy, working closely with families to understand each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs.

We offer flexible service locations based on family needs, including:

• In physician or county offices

• In the home

• Via secure telehealth

• Some travel restrictions apply
