Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Our practice centers around providing compassionate and comprehensive support to children, adolescents, and adults. When a parent is concerned about autism, various behavioral differences are usually noted. Similarly, adults seeking to understand their experience better often notice patterns of perceiving and experiencing the world that have been present as they reflect on their development. Most commonly, the following areas of difference are identified:

  • Language Differences

  • Social Differences

  • Specific and Intense Interests

  • Sensory Integration Differences

In addition, the assessment will examine functioning on a broader level. If a diagnosis of autism is ruled out, an accurate diagnosis with specific recommendations will be provided. A feedback session will answer parent and client questions and include psychoeducational resources and referrals for evidence-based treatments and support.
