ASD + ADHD
Ages 5-12 (also available for teens and adults)
This evaluation is for parents who wonder if their child might be neurodivergent. On the surface, it can be difficult to differentiate between ASD and ADHD, and there is a high co-occurence of these disorders.
This evaluation dives in and provides a comprehensive assessment for neurodivergence and includes assessment of intelligence in order to identify giftedness and twice exceptional ("2E") profiles.
Areas evaluated may include:
-
Attention and executive functioning
-
Social communication and social understanding
-
Regulation, impulsivity, and activity level

This approach helps clarify neurotype and provides integrated recommendations for school, home, and therapeutic supports.
