Testing & Evaluation Services
I provide psychological testing for those wondering if they meet criteria for ADHD and/or Autism.
What kinds of testing do you provide?
I currently provide testing for those wondering if they meet criteria for ADHD and/or Autism. I am currently only taking adult clients.
Do I Need Testing?
People often come to testing under the following circumstances:
-
A family member has recently been diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD and they see similar traits in themselves
-
They have been given other diagnoses (e.g. anxiety, depression, borderline personality, etc.) but treatment doesn't seem to entirely work and they wonder if something is missing.
-
Their therapist or a friend/family member sees patterns consistent with ADHD or autism and encourages an evaluation
How does testing help?
Testing can help in several ways:
-
Clarify diagnosis and treatment recommendations
-
Support a more comprehensive understanding of how your brain works and ways to use this to your advantage
-
Provide documentation in the event you would like to pursue additional treatments, accomodations, or services that require this.
What measures are used?
I tailor each evaluation to your goals and presenting concerns. Some commonly used measures include:
-
The Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum (MIGDAS-2)
-
Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2)
-
Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS-3)
-
Sensory Processing Measure (SPM)
-
Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults (DIVA-5)
-
Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS-2)
-
Comprehensive Executive Functioning Inventory (CEFI)
-
Series of Assessments to Guide Evaluation (SAGE-SR)
