Where can i get my child tested for autism in Washington state?
If your child is school age have your child evaluated by the school psychologist. Talk with your school’s principal and ask for the evaluation. It is free and it is your child’s right to an evaluation. The University of Washington Autism Center, which also has a satellite program in Tacoma: http://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/ Children’s Hospital Center for Children with Special Needs in Seattle: http://www.seattlechildrens.org/ You can also call the Autism Society of Washington for a referral: http://www.autismsocietyofwa.org/ Hope this helps! There are lots of resources for children with autistic disorders, and schools are becoming much better equipped to meet their needs. Hang in there! Talk to other parents with kids with autistic disorders. They know the real scoop!!
