Imagine early diagnosis and treatment in the gleam of an eye
For children with autism, the earlier the diagnosis, the better the long-term outcome2-5. Unfortunately, fewer than 20% of children with autism are currently identified before the age of three6. That delay in diagnosis leads directly to delayed intervention and delayed treatment.
Breaking through
Research suggests that the study of social-visual engagement may lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism3,4. The EarliPoint™ Evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) recently received breakthrough designation from the FDA.
Be the change
We are a mission-driven company looking forward to a day when every child, caregiver and provider, has access to early diagnosis and treatment –improving the lives of those living with ASD and related vulnerabilities.
