ADHD
Evaluations
Our Ph.D. licensed psychologist conducts all evaluations and testing, including ADHD evaluations, from beginning to end.
Our detailed process involving multiple standardized assessments and rater perspectives is guided by the evaluation’s goals.
We strive to thoroughly understand and rule out or rule in potential reasons for symptoms because many disorders may impact attention, working memory, and processing speed.
Our process is intended to provide helpful suggestions for workplace or academic success and psychological treatments.
Autism
Evaluations
We assess for Autism Spectrum Disorder among children (4 years or older), teens, and adults using the ADOS 2, ADI-R, and other clinically recommended measures depending on presenting concerns.
As with other Neurodevelopmental Disorders, we strive to understand multiple areas of functioning and rule-out or rule-in various reasons for symptoms. The ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised) is an ASD-specific standardized clinical interview conducted with a client’s caretakers, whereas the ADOS 2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition) is an ASD-specific standardized and observational assessment.
We have been trained for multiple years to assess Autism Spectrum Disorders across the lifespan, gender identities, racial/ethnic/cultural identities, and other identities.
Neuropsychological
Evaluations
Neuropsychological evaluations, including memory, language, executive functioning, attention, visuospatial, and learning evaluations, can help answer questions about brain-related functioning. We seek to understand some of these areas of functioning to inform diagnostic impressions and recommendations.
Gifted
Evaluations
Gifted evaluations can help assess a person’s cognitive and IQ functioning and determine if gifted programming is recommended. In addition, gifted assessments can provide insight into how a child, teen, or adult learns and processes information.
Psychological
Evaluations
Psychological assessments and evaluations can clarify the diagnoses and strengths of each individual with the intent of improving functioning or providing accommodations. They help assess for disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, and Trauma-related Disorders.
Learning Disability
Evaluations
Learning disability evaluations for Specific Learning Disorders (previously referred to as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia) are used to provide evidence of a Specific Learning Disorder as well as to identify cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses. Consistent with the latest empirical research, we strive to use assessments measuring cognitive processing correlates associated with academic deficits. We also strive to identify statistically significant personal and general weaknesses and strengths, separating us from other providers.
