Problem
Families seeking autism evaluations often face long waitlists and limited access to specialists, delaying critical answers and early intervention. After a diagnosis, many families struggle to find therapy that is truly individualized, evidence-based, and integrated into their daily lives and school settings.
Solution
Avela Health delivers comprehensive virtual autism evaluations and tailored therapy programs for children, teens, and young adults, with no waitlists. The company grounds its approach in contemporary evidence, combining developmental and behavioral science through Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) that follow the child’s lead and build skills within natural routines. Each family is matched with a dedicated Master’s or doctoral-level provider who creates a personalized plan addressing unique needs and goals. Avela Health also offers therapeutic groups for autistic tweens, teens, and parents, creating affirming communities, and partners with schools to support IEP or 504 plan development, teacher consultations, and in-school sessions.
Target Audience
