Autism Assessments
An autism assessment is a thorough evaluation designed to determine whether an individual meets the criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This process involves interviews, standardized tests, and behavioral observations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the individual's strengths and challenges. While autism screenings may be used as an initial step to identify potential concerns, full autism evaluations offer deeper insights. The assessment provides valuable information that helps guide personalized support and intervention strategies tailored to their unique needs.

Autism Screening
An autism screening is often the first step in understanding whether an individual may benefit from further autism assessments or evaluations. This preliminary process gathers key developmental and behavioral information to help determine if a full diagnostic assessment is appropriate. During the screening, the psychologist will explore a variety of factors to build a clear picture of the individual's current functioning and history, which may include:
Early childhood development
Family medical and psychological background
Past and present health concerns
Additional neurodevelopmental conditions
Everyday routines and experiences
Social skills and communication patterns
Focus, interests, and attention to detail
Time Commitment: A screening typically requires about 1-2 hour(s) of in-office time with a psychologist.

Autism Assessment
During an autism evaluation, a psychologist will assess key areas such as communication, social interactions, and behavior. This process typically involves observation, standardized testing, and interviews with the individual and their caregivers. The goal is to gain a detailed understanding of how the person functions across different settings and situations.
Depending on the child’s age, assessments may include language evaluations, IQ tests, and motor skills screenings to gain a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and challenges. These tools help identify whether behaviors and developmental patterns are consistent with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or if another diagnosis may be more appropriate. In some cases, the evaluation may also explore co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, or learning differences, which can influence the overall picture.
The results of the autism evaluation provide valuable insights that guide treatment planning, school accommodations, and recommendations for therapeutic support tailored to the individual’s unique needs.
