Psychologist-HSPP

UNIFI Autism Care is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Psychologist-HSPP to join our team in either a full-time employee or independent contractor role. Whether you prefer the stability and benefits of a full-time position or the flexibility of an independent contractor, we offer an opportunity for you 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 Indiana 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 12 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.

Our model ensures meaningful outcomes by considering the whole child and addressing all aspects of their development.
