Evaluations and Assessments

This evaluation is based on best practice standards and incorporate psychodiagnostic and treatment considerations drawn from current research in the field. Assessments include measures of cognitive and developmental functioning, psychodiagnostic interviews [such as autism diagnostic measures that includes the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2 (ADOS-2)], and supplemental measures of neurocognitive functioning, achievement, projective measures, and interpretation of informant report measures. Diagnoses and recommendations are informed by a multidisciplinary team that consists of clinical psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and a pediatric neurologist with additional professionals in the field to consult as necessary.
