Comprehensive Autism and ADHD Testing Services

Getting the right diagnosis can be life-changing. At our practice, we provide comprehensive evaluations designed to uncover the unique strengths, challenges, and support needs of each individual. We specialize in autism testing, ADHD testing for young adults and adults, and targeted ADHD assessments for adults who are seeking clarity and next steps. Our goal is to provide answers that open doors to resources, accommodations, and strategies for success.

Why Comprehensive Testing Matters

  • Gain Understanding.

    A thorough psychological evaluation does more than provide a label. It gives a deeper understanding of how a person thinks, learns, and interacts with the world. Whether you're concerned about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or related challenges, accurate assessment ensures access to effective support in academic, professional, and personal settings.

  • Comprehensive Testing Provides:

    -A detailed understanding of cognitive strengths and areas of need

    -Clear diagnostic impressions to guide interventions and accommodations

    -Documentation for school-based services, workplace accommodations, and insurance

    -A roadmap for therapy, coaching, and support services tailored to the individual

  • Who Benefits from Testing:

    Our evaluations are designed for:

    -Those showing differences in communication, behavior, or social development

    -Those struggling with focus, organization, or peer relationships

    -Adults seeking answers about long-standing attention or executive function difficulties

    -Individuals with overlapping concerns, such as anxiety, attention difficulties, or sensory challenges

    Testing helps individuals and families gain clarity, access services, and plan effective interventions.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder Evaluations

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication, behavior, and sensory processing. A comprehensive autism evaluation involves gathering information from multiple sources and using evidence-based assessments to understand the individual’s unique profile.

Key Autism Assessments We Use

  1. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2): A play-based and interactive assessment considered the gold standard for autism diagnosis.

    2. Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2): A questionnaire assessing social awareness, communication, and motivation.

An autism evaluation typically includes:

  • A comprehensive developmental interview with the client

  • Completion of questionnaires by the client and close others (e.g., parents, partner, friend)

  • A review of previous records, including school or therapy reports

  • A detailed written report with clear diagnostic impressions and recommendations


    ADHD Testing for Adults

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive functioning. We provide comprehensive ADHD testing for young adults and adults adults to clarify diagnosis and inform treatment planning.

    Core ADHD Assessments We Use

    • Executive Function Inventories, such as the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2), assess organizational skills, working memory, and self-regulation.

Targeted ADHD Testing for Adults

For adults seeking ADHD evaluation, we offer targeted assessments designed to answer key questions quickly and accurately. These assessments typically include:

  • A detailed clinical interview exploring developmental, academic, and occupational history

  • Evidence-based self-report rating scales, such as the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1)

  • Measures of attention, impulsivity, and executive function through standardized tasks

  • Screening for related conditions such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences

Targeted ADHD testing is ideal for adults who suspect ADHD, need documentation for workplace accommodations, or are exploring treatment options.

Comprehensive vs. Targeted Evaluations

  • Comprehensive evaluations explore the full range of cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional functioning. These are recommended for complex presentations, multiple concerns, or when school or workplace accommodations are needed.

  • Targeted evaluations answer specific referral questions, such as “Does this adult meet criteria for ADHD?” They are shorter, more focused, and provide clear diagnostic impressions.
