FAQs
For adults, we offer a targeted ASD-focused evaluation primarily exploring the question of autism. We also offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations that explore ASD along with other diagnoses and cognitive functioning for all ages 3 and up.
A targeted evaluation may not be appropriate for everyone. For children and teens, we usually recommend comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations when autism is questioned, and we work with families to choose the best route. In some instances, a targeted evaluation may be appropriate and will be recommended.
The clinical interview and testing occur on the same day. A 60–75-minute follow-up session occurs within a week of the evaluation, followed by a written report.
You will receive a follow-up session and a written report.
Cost: $2,250.
