Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Is ASD testing appropriate for me or my child? Will it be helpful?
An evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder may be helpful if you, a caregiver, or a teacher have observed challenges for yourself or your child in social situations. These challenges may include: difficulties following along with directions for a group, struggling to make friends, extreme emotional outbursts or withdrawal, poor communication, inflexibility, or confusion in or lack of understanding of common social contexts. These can indicate underlying issues worth exploring in order to seek appropriate support.
Our clinic provides ASD testing for all ages, from as young as 18 months to adolescents and adults.
What is involved in ASD testing?
An evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder typically involves a thorough developmental interview with parents or caregivers, the Autism Diagnostic Observation System (ADOS-2), and questionnaires addressing various areas of functioning (e.g. adaptive, emotional, behavioral). We may also request teacher feedback and past evaluation records if any are available.
Testing usually takes place in person and lasts between 2 to 3 hours. Questionnaires will be emailed and can be completed at your convenience. Results are usually available within 2 weeks from the in-person appointment or questionnaire completion, whichever is later.
How much does testing cost?
The fee for an ASD evaluation with no other diagnostic questions is $3000.
Occasionally, there are other concerns such as a specific learning disorder or ADHD as well. Our testing service can be tailored to address additional questions for an overall fee of up to $5500.
