Introducing EarliPoint™: A Revolutionary Diagnostic Tool
Our diagnostic services utilize the EarliPoint™ Evaluation, an FDA-cleared tool that aids clinicians in diagnosing and assessing ASD in children as young as 16 months in Boca Raton. Developed by EarliTec Diagnostics, EarliPoint™ employs advanced eye-tracking technology to monitor a child’s visual engagement during short video scenes of social interactions. This method captures and analyzes looking behavior at a rate of 120 times per second, providing objective data that enhances the accuracy of ASD diagnoses.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters.
Recognizing signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as early as possible is important because earlier access to intervention and support is associated with more favorable developmental progress. Studies indicate that children who receive services at younger ages often demonstrate stronger academic and adaptive outcomes over time, while also reducing long-term healthcare and support costs. Despite these benefits, the average age of ASD diagnosis in the United States remains approximately five years old, in part because many families experience difficulty accessing clinicians with specialized expertise in autism assessment. Our goal is to help shorten this timeline by offering comprehensive evaluations that provide families with timely, accurate, and meaningful diagnostic information.
