DFW Assessment PLLC

I always start parent interviews by asking caregivers to share about a child’s strengths. Often, these strengths are common Autism characteristics and parents are surprised when I share that with them!

Common responses are:
• They are very smart
• They are independent and can figure out how to get things around the house they want, often in creative ways
• They have an amazing memory and can remember specific details
• They study how things work or learn and memorize tons of facts about topics they enjoy
• They know all of their letters, numbers, and shapes - or can even read words early on
• They are very neat and organized
• They can navigate through technology very easily

And so much more! What are some more strengths you see?!? 👇🏼

Please help me welcome Dr. Chrishawn Finister to the practice! Dr. Finister will be seeing clients in person at our Coppell location beginning in March. She brings passion and energy to every diagnostic evaluation.

I had to use this image earlier this week to explain neurodiversity and Autism. Anyone else have to use images to explain what they mean?
