Assessment for ASD

I provide assessments for individuals who believe they may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The first part of the assessment takes approximately 4 hours. During this portion of the assessment, I will conduct a detailed interview about your history and your symptoms from childhood to adulthood. I will ask you questions about: how you perceive the world, yourself, and others; how you get along with other people; your interests and activities; and other questions which will give us insight into your personality and daily functioning.

An assessment for ASD also includes interviewing someone who is close to you that knows your personality and behavior well, such as a family member, partner, or friend. With your permission, I will conduct a briefer interview (1-2 hours) with them to get their perspective on your personality, behaviors, strengths, and challenges.

I then review the all of the information gathered and determine whether or not you meet criteria for ASD and/or other diagnoses (2-4 hours). We then meet to discuss the results of your testing (1 hour). The cost of the assessment and feedback session runs between $2800-3850+.

If needed, I can provide a written report outlining the results of testing and treatment recommendations based on your results, which is an additional cost to testing. The cost of a written report is approximately double the cost of the initial assessment amount, thus an assessment with a written report will usually run between $5600-7700+. Please note additional hours may be required to confirm or exclude a diagnoses (e.g., extensive chart reviews, additional contacts with providers or family members, additional testing). The need for additional testing/information gathering and the expected cost will always be made known before proceeding.
