Early diagnosis and intervention are key in autism spectrum disorders. An autism assessment uses the most up-to-date and research-validated methods in order to rule out or confirm a diagnosis of autism.
Up to 80% of autistic females remain undiagnosed by age 18, with studies suggesting that nearly 90% of autistic adults aged 40–59 and over 97% over age 60 are undiagnosed -NIH
A psycho-educational assessment can provide parents and teachers with valuable insight into a child's learning style, strengths, and areas of weakness. Results can inform school programming decisions in order to keep your learner engaged at school.
If your child seems to be outpacing others of the same age, it may be worthwhile to explore giftedness. Results of a giftedness assessment may help with school placement decisions and strategies to ensure your child is stimulated and challenged in their learning.
We are able to complete other types of assessment, including PDD assessments, AD/HD assessments, adaptive functioning measures, and social/emotional functioning measures. Please contact us for more information in order to determine which questions you are hoping to have answered through psychological assessment.
