Clients who are seeking formal testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder can participate in a clinical assessment. Please see “What is Autism” for more information. This process typically takes 4-5 hours to assess and one hour to review. Clients will engage in a dialogue with the therapist exploring target areas that would be affected by Autism. Parents and/or significant others (when possible) are encouraged to be a part of the diagnostic process.

This assessment will include areas such as developmental history, family relationships, social history, childhood, and other relevant experiences. This data will be used to establish whether or not the client meets the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Clients will receive a formal written diagnosis, or can request a complete report for an additional fee. Clients should consult with the therapist prior to testing to explore all available testing options. The clinician will advise clients on the most appropriate testing method to meet their needs.

Autism Assessments are $250 per session. Although the average number of sessions is 5, this number varies by client.
