Specialized, High-Impact Focus: Conduct comprehensive evaluations for the early identification and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (birth–21) utilizing gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2.

A Culture of Connection: You aren’t just a "test administrator" here. Work within a collaborative, tight-knit environment where peer consultation and interdisciplinary support are part of the daily rhythm.
