InBloom Autism Services Expands in Norwich

InBloom Autism Services is excited to announce its expansion in Norwich, Connecticut, introducing autism diagnostic evaluations tailored for young children aged four and under. This new service aims to offer comprehensive care by integrating diagnostic services with center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, thereby ensuring families access a complete continuum of care.

The evaluation process will be overseen by Dr. Jaqui Otto, PhD, a licensed child psychologist specializing in assessing young children for autism and other developmental concerns. Families seeking thorough autism evaluations for their children can reach out by calling 888-888-754-0398 or visiting InBloomAutism.com. The evaluation may consist of various components, including a parent interview, a detailed developmental history, direct observation, and a play-based assessment utilizing established tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), or Tele-ASD-Peds, as per each child's needs and age. After the evaluation, families will have a feedback session to review findings, recommendations, and possible next steps to provide a clear path forward.

Dr. Jaqui Otto emphasized the importance of early identification: "Understanding a child's unique strengths and needs early on allows families to connect with appropriate support sooner. A thoughtful evaluation equips parents with the necessary insights to make informed decisions regarding their child's development and care."

Comprehensive Support Connected to Diagnosis

In addition to the diagnostic evaluations, InBloom is enhancing its offerings by providing individualized center-based ABA therapy for young children diagnosed with autism at its two Norwich Learning Centers. Each child's program is meticulously developed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and emphasizes play-based, naturalistic learning opportunities. These programs aim to enhance essential skills such as communication, social interaction, daily living activities, independence, and readiness for school.

"We have witnessed the substantial positive impact our diagnostic evaluations have had at our other centers in Connecticut, and it was a logical progression to extend these vital services to Norwich," stated Tim Bohman, Chief Executive Officer of InBloom Autism Services. "By broadening our reach in this manner, we can help even more families gain access to the care and support they require."

Since its inception in 2019, InBloom has been dedicated to providing center-based ABA therapy for families across Connecticut, steadily increasing its footprint in the state. Presently, InBloom operates Learning Centers in various locations including East Granby, East Hartford, Glastonbury, Hamden, New Britain, Rocky Hill, Trumbull, and Wallingford. Notably, a new center is slated to open in Mystic in 2027.

InBloom Autism Services is an in-network provider with numerous major insurance plans, ensuring a wider accessibility for families needing autism diagnostic evaluations or ABA therapy. Interested families can reach out to the InBloom Care Team at 888-754-0398 or visit InBloomAutism.com.
