Axis for Autism Gives Epic Kids Readers a Solution to the Long Autism Evaluation Wait
When parents have concerns about the way their child plays, interacts with others or expresses frustration, they want a diagnosis to confirm their suspicions and move forward. Because autism diagnoses can take a year or longer, Epic Kids turned to Axis for Autism Clinical Director Morgan Hall for insight into the delays — and the company’s groundbreaking model.
Explaining that parents usually share concerns about their child’s development when they’re 1 or 2 years old, yet the average age of diagnosis is 4 years 10 months, Morgan attributed delays to well-meaning family or friends who suggest to “wait and see” as well as a nationwide provider shortage.
There is a light at the end of this long tunnel — Morgan writes that Axis for Autism offers a new model that streamlines diagnosis and cuts wait times to 60 days or less. With their large network of licensed specialized clinical psychologists, they deliver gold-standard evaluations, providing families with the answers they need and a clear course of action.
A licensed neuropsychologist with more than 20 years of experience in emotional and behavioral development, Morgan spearheads Axis for Autism’s program development, evaluations and care coordination to help Arizona children and adults receive autism diagnoses.
