Our Autism Assessment is a very specific assessment in which we administer an autism specific behavioral evaluation. This evaluation focuses on specific behavioral observations, communication skills, sensory processing, and social skills that are associated with individuals who fall on the autism spectrum. In addition, it helps measure an individual's cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses and/or emotional health. This assessment is useful in giving an appropriate diagnosis when a suspected autistic disorder is present. The diagnosis can then be used to help an individual obtain appropriate interventions, accommodations, curriculum planning or documentation that may be needed to help the individual improve their overall quality of life. If an individual is experiencing any symptoms related to any of the following disorders, they may benefit from this assessment.
- Autism Disorder
- Asperger Syndrome
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified
- Any suspected autistic disorder
