UCLA's Autism Evaluation Clinic provides a specialized, high-level of expertise, in its approach to this difficult and poorly understood disorder. Our assessment protocol routinely includes comprehensive diagnostic and cognitive testing by child psychologists, who are all skilled and experienced with autism spectrum disorders.

The UCLA Autism Evaluation Clinic is at the core of one of only six National Institute of Health (NIH) Autism Centers of Excellence (ACE) in autism research nationwide. The UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART) was established in 2003 as part of the NIH Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART) program. The funding initiative for the center grew primarily from the efforts of parent advocacy organizations that recognized the importance of more research.

We have more information on the evaluation process used at UCLA, as well as the forms that require completion during an evaluation.

Based on your questions and you or your child's needs, we will evaluate the appropriate services and fees.  Please contact us for more information at (310) 794-4008 or by fax (310) 825-5197.
