InBloom Autism Services Expands Care in Norwich With New Autism Diagnostic Evaluations for Young Children

New diagnostic services give families in Norwich, CT access to evaluation and center-based ABA therapy through one continuum of care

NORWICH, Conn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- InBloom Autism Services is expanding its services in Norwich to include autism diagnostic evaluations for children ages 4 and younger. The new service gives families access to both diagnostic and center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy through one continuum of care.

Evaluations are led by Dr. Jaqui Otto, PhD, a licensed child psychologist with experience evaluating young children for autism and other developmental concerns. Families looking for comprehensive autism evaluations for their child should give us a call at 888-888-754-0398 or visit InBloomAutism.com.

The evaluation process may include a parent interview, developmental history, direct observation and play-based assessment using tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) or Tele-ASD-Peds, based on each child's age and individual needs. Families receive a feedback session to review findings, recommendations and potential next steps.

"Early identification can help families better understand their child's unique strengths and needs and connect with appropriate support sooner," said Dr. Jaqui Otto, PhD, Licensed Child Psychologist at InBloom Autism Services. "A thoughtful evaluation gives parents clear information they can use to make informed decisions about their child's development and care."

Connecting Diagnosis to Individualized Support

In addition to diagnostic evaluations, InBloom provides center-based ABA therapy for young children with autism at their two Norwich Learning Centers. Programs are individualized by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and use play-based, naturalistic learning opportunities to help children develop communication, social, daily living, independence and school readiness skills.

"We've seen the positive impact of our diagnostic evaluations at our other Connecticut centers, and so expanding these services to Norwich was a natural next step in helping more families access the care and support they need," said Tim Bohman, Chief Executive Officer at InBloom Autism Services.

Since 2019, InBloom has provided center-based ABA therapy to families across Connecticut and continues to grow its statewide presence. InBloom currently operates Learning Centers in East Granby, East Hartford, Glastonbury, Hamden, New Britain, Norwich, Rocky Hill, Trumbull, and Wallingford, with a new center planned to open in Mystic in 2027.

InBloom is an in-network provider with many major insurance plans. Families interested in autism diagnostic evaluations or ABA therapy can contact the InBloom Care Team at 888-754-0398 or visit InBloomAutism.com.
