- Are concerned about autism symptoms like speech delays, meltdowns, social struggles, or rigid routines.
- Have a pediatrician recommending further evaluation.
- Have been stuck on long waitlists or told to “just wait and see.”
- Want a remote autism assessment from home, without the travel or stress.
Does Avela Health do ADOS testing?
At Avela Health, we offer comprehensive evaluations, with the process tailored to meet the needs of each child and family using a range of assessment tools.
These can include interviews with caregivers and the child, observation and/or video review, and standardized tests and assessments. When appropriate, we use a version of the ADOS that has been modified for telehealth.

How can I find an autism evaluation near me?
Receiving an autism diagnosis is often the first step to beginning autism services for North Carolina residents. People commonly seek an assessment as an adult, or for their child, when they’re struggling to meet the expectations of their environment. For younger children, this might look like missing milestones, especially with verbal and nonverbal communication. Older children may have difficulty navigating social interactions and friendships.
If you’re noticing differences or challenges and wondering if an autism evaluation is the next step, Avela Health offers free online autism tests for children, teens, and adults that can help guide you in your decision-making process.
When you’re ready to find an autism evaluation in NC, Avela Health offers 100% online autism assessments from licensed psychologists. Schedule an evaluation with Avela Health.
