Getting a diagnosis is the first step in getting the help and services individuals with Autism need. In order to get services here in Arizona, the diagnosis of Autism must come from a licensed Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Developmental Pediatrician or a Certified Pediatrician.
While the wait may be long for some providers, we recommend taking a look at the listings below to see which professionals are contracted with your insurance and who can see you the soonest. It is recommended that you ask to be placed on a waiting list in the event a cancelation occurs and you can be seen sooner.
* This listing should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation either by the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix or its Board of Directors. It is merely a collection of individuals/entities/resources that have been deemed helpful or recommended by consumers. Please notify us if any information needs to be updated.
