UNIFI Autism Care is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Psychologist to join our team and to make a real difference in the lives of children identified as at-risk for autism.
There are significant backlogs and waiting lists for hundreds of children in Iowa who have been screened positive for autism and require a formal diagnostic assessment. UNIFI is establishing an autism diagnostic service line to reduce the consequence of delays in treatment, as well as provide a foundation for alternative diagnoses should autism be ruled out. The Diagnostic Service line will operate independently from the Autism Care service line, while remaining closely aligned in mission and collaboration.
As part of our innovative and collaborative team, you will be responsible for conducting autism-focused clinical evaluations for children ages 18 months to 18 years, assessing potential neurodevelopmental conditions like autism. Your evaluations and diagnoses will directly guide the development of treatment strategies that can change the trajectory of a child's life.

This is reflected in our unified approach to care, partnering with healthcare professionals to ensure access to the full range of care and services to meet the needs of children with autism and their families. Our model ensures meaningful outcomes by considering the whole child and addressing all aspects of their development.
