Psychoeducational & Autism Assessments
I offer comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessments for children, adolescents, and adults (Six years +). The presence of a Specific Learning Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety & Mood Disorders, cognitive processing deficits (Intellectual Developmental Disorder), and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder may be identified.
Assessment options include a Standard Psychoeducational Assessment or a Standard Psychoeducational Assessment with the Evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The only difference between these two options is the evaluation of Autism. Each assessment evaluates an individual's cognitive, academic, attention/executive, social-emotional, and psychological functioning. An evaluation of Autism involves investigating social, emotional and adaptive functioning, in addition to these other areas.
Before your assessment, you will be required to complete the consent form, intake form, and any other forms provided. On the day of your appointment, you will spend 3-4 hours working through a series of assessment procedures. This may include puzzles, visual games, memory tasks, questions, and also academic tasks like mathematics, reading, and writing. You will be asked to complete questionnaires and an interview(s). I will ask you questions about your experiences and history. I would also connect with someone in your life who can help give important perspectives about your concerns.
Following the assessment, it may take approximately 6-8 weeks for you to receive your results. Once the results have been interpreted and the report is complete (approx. 20 pages), you will attend an online debrief session where the results will be explained and diagnosis(es) will be communicated, if applicable. You will also receive a copy of the report detailing the assessment results, conclusion, diagnosis(es), and appropriate recommendations for support and accommodations that are tailored to your unique strengths and challenges. You are free to do whatever you choose with the report. This may include sharing it with the school, post-secondary institution, physician/health care provider, or support system.
The cost of a Standard Psychoeducational Assessment is $2800. The cost of a Psychoeducational Assessment with Evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder is $3400.
