We offer a wide range of comprehensive neuropsych testing and diagnostic services for children, teens, and adults struggling with cognitive or behavioral patterns commonly associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Testing provides a clinical perspective into why certain behaviors, thought processes, or learning patterns have begun to interfere with daily life.
Autism testing provides clarity to questions or concerns that will likely go unanswered without the help of a mental health professional. The results of testing will indicate if an Autism diagnosis is appropriate and can open the doors for a better quality of life by improving daily functioning, productivity, mental health and overall well-being.
Neuropsych testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder measures the cognitive and executive functions that often contribute to Autism symptoms. Autism can present itself in a variety of forms from one person to the next. This is why each client is given a custom, unique, and individualized set of tests that are best suited to their symptoms, needs, and challenges.
Testing is administered by our team of expert mental health professionals and involves standardized behavioral and symptom questionnaires, written tests, and assessments done on the computer.
