Autism Spectrum Evaluations
Testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder involves a 4-step process:
Using gold-standard evaluation measures, reports can be used to apply for Offices for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) Services and/or request accommodations for school/work.
Please note I am able to work only with clients residing in New York State at this time.
I do not conduct fully-remote evaluations for autism spectrum disorder. For these types of assessments, a client must be seen in person for at least one, if not more, testing appointments.

The first step in determining what service or evaluation is right for you/your child. In this 15 minute consultation, we’ll discuss what services you’re looking for, what we provide, fee structure, and a plan moving forward.
-
A 60 minute clinical intake session with client and parents/guardians (if <18 years) (offered via telehealth or in-person)

60-120 minutes depending on type of testing.
