About Midwest Autism & Psychological Services
Our Mission
Providing Early Autism Screening & Support
MAPS offers early intervention evaluations for children who are exhibiting signs of ASD or developmental delays. Because the average age of diagnosis in the U.S. is around 5 years, our mission is to ensure screenings are done sooner—so families waiting long periods can have their child evaluated as quickly as possible. Evaluating children earlier opens the door to intervention, which can greatly improve developmental outcomes.
After evaluation, we don’t just deliver a diagnosis—we’re committed to helping connect your family with specialized autism treatment services in your community to address identified needs.

Our Approach & Beliefs
At MAPS, we believe every child deserves timely, compassionate, and family-centered care. Parents and caregivers are essential partners—they know their children best. That’s why we build evaluations and follow-up plans around each child’s unique needs and family context.
We focus on three guiding principles:
- Early Action: The sooner concerns are identified and evaluated, the more opportunities there are for meaningful intervention and developmental growth.
- Family-Centered Care: Parents and caregivers play a central role in shaping evaluations and next steps.
- Community Linkage: We don’t just evaluate—we connect families to trusted community services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, and EIDBI programs.
We believe a diagnosis is not the end—it’s the beginning of an actionable plan, filled with hope and designed to help children and families thrive.
