ADHD assessments help determine whether attention, hyperactivity, or executive functioning difficulties are present and how they impact daily life. We evaluate ADHD across the lifespan (children, teens, and adults).

ADHD testing may assess:

• Attention and impulse control

• Executive functioning

• Academic or occupational impact

• Co-occurring concerns (e.g., anxiety)

Results can help guide treatment, school and workplace supports, and accommodations.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments are designed to help clarify social, communication, sensory, and behavioral differences. We provide autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults.

Autism testing typically includes:

• Comprehensive clinical interview

• Developmental history

• Autism-specific measures (e.g., ADOS-2)

• Cognitive and psychological testing

These evaluations can support self-understanding, guide treatment, and help access accommodations or services.

(Combined Evaluations)

Comprehensive testing integrates multiple assessment areas to provide a full, nuanced understanding of an individual’s cognitive, emotional, academic, and neurodevelopmental profile. This option is often recommended when concerns are complex, overlapping, or unclear.

Comprehensive evaluations may include a combination of:

• Autism testing

• ADHD testing

• Psychoeducational testing

• Emotional and behavioral assessment

This approach is especially helpful for individuals who have multiple concerns, have not received clear answers in the past, or are navigating academic, workplace, or mental health challenges.

Giftedness assessments help identify advanced cognitive abilities and strengths. These evaluations may be used for school placement, enrichment planning, or to better understand a child’s intellectual profile.

Giftedness testing can be especially helpful for children who are:

• Highly curious or advanced learners

• Understimulated or bored at school

• Both gifted and experiencing learning or emotional challenges

Psychoeducational Testing

Psychoeducational evaluations focus on learning (e.g., WIAT), academic skills, and cognitive abilities (WPPSI, WISC, WAIS). These assessments are often used to identify learning disabilities, clarify academic strengths and weaknesses, or support educational planning.

Common referral questions include:

• Reading, writing, or math difficulties

• School performance not matching potential

These evaluations are frequently used to support IEPs, 504 Plans, and academic accommodations

Psychological or psychodiagnostic evaluations help clarify emotional and behavioral concerns. These assessments may be recommended when symptoms are complex or when diagnosis is unclear.

They can help assess for:

• Anxiety disorders

• OCD

• Mood disorders

• Trauma-related concerns

• Personality or behavioral patterns

Results provide diagnostic clarity and practical treatment recommendations.

School Admissions and Giftedness Testing: Many private schools and giftedness programs often require cognitive testing for admission. The requirements vary by school, but this typically involves a Wechsler tests (WPPSI or WISC). This testing is an abbreviated version of a full psychological or cognitive evaluation. Testing will involve one appointment that lasts an hour or two depending on the age of your child. We will meet with you and your child to do a brief background evaluation, complete Weschler testing, and provide you with the results. We will also provide you with a written copy of the results.
