Providing in-depth testing by an AuDHD evaluator can uncover the underlying strengths and challenges of children and adults with neurodevelopmental diagnoses, which include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, adaptive functioning, and more. This comprehensive approach helps identify the root causes of difficulties, enabling targeted support strategies. Each formal evaluation is tailored to the needs of the individual. My assessment expertise is informed by doctoral-level training, and I provide these services within the scope of my master level licensure. I utilize various standardized assessments and questionnaires when providing evaluations. School districts, universities, OPWDD, and Social Security benefits have accepted evaluations. When determining rates for formal evaluations, several factors can influence the final cost, which will be discussed before the start of all formal evaluations. 

Evaluations for those who are seeking entry into OPWDD, work, and school accommodations

Children & teens who may have been missed for Autism, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood 

Adults who self-refer and are seeking answers & validation

My interests lie in exploring the science of reading, understanding dyslexia and other disabilities, and shedding light on evidence-based support for autism and ADHD to promote social development and belonging. I'm passionate about promoting neurodiversity and advocating for inclusive education practices that support diverse learners. 

Assessment is just the starting point. Real progress happens when we turn insights into action. That's why I provide a range of tools and expert guidance to help parents and caregivers create personalized support plans that drive growth and development based on assessment results.

Here's what you can expect from the assessment process 

• In-depth exploration: I’ll discuss your personal history, life experiences, and the challenges you've faced.

• Identifying strengths and interests: I’ll highlight your strengths, passions, and areas where you excel.

• Understanding your thought process: I’ll explore how you think, problem-solve, and approach different situations.

• Support needs assessment: I’ll identify areas where you might need support or accommodations. 

The assessment process involves:

• Conversations:  I’ll have open and collaborative discussions to get to know each other and understand your needs.

• Questionnaires: You may be asked to complete some questionnaires to provide more information about your experiences and preferences.

• Evidence-based tools:  I'll use standardized assessments and tools to gain a deeper understanding of your strengths and challenges.

Your lived experience matters!

Your experiences, perspectives, and insights assist me in identifying high masking, low support needs of autistic individuals, which is an area that I specialize in.  

Assessments used, but not limited to: 

MIGDAS, CAT-Q, DIVA-5, and more are used for those seeking a neuro-affirming experience that teases out autistic traits that often aren't detected by the use of outdated material and information.  Updated assessments are necessary to provide an accurate diagnosis and to provide a clear easy to read treatment plan.
