Hope Haven in Northeast Florida is transforming autism diagnosis with EarliPoint Autism technology, a cutting-edge tool that uses eye-tracking and advanced algorithms to detect early signs of autism in children as young as 16 months.

This innovative system observes how children engage with social stimuli, offering insights traditional methods might overlook. Unlike conventional evaluations, which can take up to an hour, EarliPoint delivers results in just 12 minutes by analyzing visual tracking and social cue responses.

“Research shows that early intervention significantly enhances the lives of children with autism,” says Stella Johnson, Hope Haven’s CEO. The technology enables earlier diagnoses, allowing for timely, personalized interventions during critical developmental years.

Families benefit from shorter wait times and faster access to essential resources, giving them hope and confidence. As the first adopter of EarliPoint in Florida, Hope Haven continues to lead in developmental care, helping children achieve their full potential.
