How and Where to Obtain a Diagnosis/Assessment in Indiana: Autism Spectrum Disorders and Mental Health

By: Dr. Cathy Pratt, BCBA-D

When an individual is suspected of having an autism spectrum diagnosis and/or a mental health issue, obtaining an accurate diagnosis can be a time consuming, costly, and confusing process. However, the process can be made easier when qualified personnel are located who can thoroughly assess the individual to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for either, or for both. In this list, we have documented not only those who diagnose, assess, and/or treat an ASD but also provide options for those who have or are suspected of having mental health challenges.

For children attending an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) program/center, some are equipped with licensed personnel to perform some level of diagnostic testing as part of or in addition to the intake process. ABA centers are primarily focused on obtaining a medical diagnosis and qualifying children for their specific program/center, and typically not on conducting an educational evaluation needed for schools. Most are also equipped to complete programming assessments, including the ABLLS®-R and/or VB MAPP. These ongoing assessment assist with ABA program development. Contact individual providers/centers to identify their assessment options. For a list of ABA providers in the state of Indiana, visit our website https://www.iidc.indiana.edu/irca/articles/where-and-how-to-find-an-aba-provider-or-center.html.

For infants or toddlers prior to their third birthday, local First Steps Service personnel may be able to assist in locating trained personnel. The phone number for your local First Steps can be obtained by calling (317) 232-1144 or (800) 545-7763. You will need to provide the name of the county in which you live, and they will provide you with the number to call for your county. You can also visit the First Steps web page to check their map: https://www.in.gov/fssa/firststeps/first-steps-offices/ and click on your county to find information on your local First Steps Office.

It is not unusual that school districts or First Step providers will diagnose all children prior to the age of eight as simply having a developmental delay. This label is used to avoid prematurely placing a false diagnosis on a child. However, autism professionals strive to diagnose accurately and earlier to facilitate early intervention which is critical for future growth and development. According to the National Institute of Health, the behavioral symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often appear early in development. Many children show symptoms of autism by 12 months to 18 months of age or earlier When do children usually show symptoms of autism? | NICHD - Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (nih.gov). For more information related to obtaining an early diagnosis, visit the Act Early Indiana website https://www.actearlyindiana.org/.

If you are seeking an assessment/educational evaluation for an individual of school age, including ages three through five, contact your local school district for information. School districts employ psychologists and other professionals who can assess school-age children to determine if they meet eligibility criteria for receiving educational services. If your child is between the ages of three to 21, an educational assessment with a team of qualified professionals is required to determine eligibility for special education and related services. A “medical diagnosis” from a physician does NOT qualify an individual for educational services. Evaluations conducted through the school district are conducted at no cost to parents. If you have received a medical diagnosis, inform your school, and provide their school psychologist with a copy of the report. They can use the report as important additional information when determining eligibility for services.

The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services is the entry point for Indiana’s Medicaid (HCBS) Waivers for children and adults with developmental disabilities. An autism spectrum disorder is considered a developmental disability. When applying for the Medicaid waiver through the BDDS office, you will need a “medical” diagnosis form filled out by a physician as part of the initial paperwork. For more information about the services available through the Waiver and the application process, visit our website https://www.iidc.indiana.edu/irca/articles/medicaid-waiver-programs-home-and-community-based-services-for-adults-and-children.html.

Call the state BDDS office at (800) 545-7763 to request contact information (e.g., phone numbers, names, addresses) for the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Field Service Office for the county in which you live or go to the BDDS web page at https://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/files/BDDS.pdf to find the phone number for your local office. More information can be found online at https://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/developmental-disability-services/.

Community Mental Health Centers and other professionals can assist when pursuing options for those with mental health issues. Visit the website for Division of Mental Health and Addictions at https://www.in.gov/fssa/dmha/find-a-local-service-provider/ to locate community options.

If a family or agency wants a private “medical” assessment or educational evaluation, the following agencies and individuals have experience diagnosing and assessing. Some of the professionals on this list may also be able to assist with medications, educational programming, behavioral support, and/or with counseling or psychiatric services.

The Indiana Resource Center for Autism and the Indiana School Mental Health Initiative do not recommend a specific organization or person. When contacting those listed below, discuss the cost of the evaluation, payment options, testing procedures and assessment instruments used, and the type of follow-up report. A thorough assessment should allow the examiner to gather sufficient information about areas of strength and need, educate the family regarding the diagnosis, and provide information that logically leads to programming recommendations at home and elsewhere. When pursuing a private evaluation, contact your insurance company to determine how much and what portion of the assessment will be covered. Also be sure to ask the person/agency doing the testing whether they accept Medicaid, or if there are other payment options they will or will not accept.

Contact the Indiana Resource Center for Autism at any time for more information on autism spectrum disorders and the activities of the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, (812) 855-6508 or visit our website https://www.iidc.indiana.edu/irca/. Contact the Indiana School Mental Health Initiative for more information about mental health issues by visiting the website https://ismhi.indiana.edu/.

If you know of others who diagnose/assess ASD or mental health issues, please contact Dr. Cathy Pratt at prattc@indiana.edu so we can add their name to the list.
