Autism evaluation & Educational testing

Psychological assessments are highly helpful for diagnosis identification or clarity, timely intervention, and treatment planning. A comprehensive development evaluation is especially helpful for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopment condition that can affect how a person interacts with peers, communicate, behave, learn, and see the world.

Autism can go undetected or misdiagnosed for other psychological conditions, especially for high functioning children, teens, and adults. Often times, girls and women are overlooked, misdiagnosed, or diagnosed late in life. Thus many families can miss the window for early intervention.

Assessments are also highly useful for college and graduate students to understand their strengths and areas of concerns and to get testing and school accommodations, if needed, to help them succeed. Psychological evaluations can provide clarity and professional guidance for students who are not doing well emotionally or have troubles adjusting to the social, emotional, or academic demands of college or graduate school.
