Autism Assessment Services

Below is the sequence of events  associated with Level 1 Autism Assessment for Adults. I am trained by Dr. Emily Haygeman using a neurodiverse-affirming approach. Fees vary based on type of payment/insurance, please inquire for an estimate of services.

Consultation Call

I provide a free, 20 minute consultation call to confirm logistics and that this is an appropriate level of assessment for a prospective client. This can be done over video or phone.

Informant Interview

Your chosen informant(s) will be interviewed for 30 minutes. Examples of informants are: parents, siblings, partners, or friends. Additionally, if you would like, I can also interview a therapist for a secondary perspective. 

Self-Assessments

You and a person of your choosing (an "informant") who will share their perspective about your experience and symptoms will be sent a packet of paperwork to fill out prior to the assessment interviews. 

Assessment Report

Three to four weeks after interviews are completed, you will receive an assessment write-up shared through your client portal. 

Assessment Interview

You will engage in a clinical interview for assessment. This typically takes 2-3 hours, can be done in person or virtually, and can be broken up into two sessions if needed. 

Feedback Session

An hour long session is provided to discuss the assessment results and related questions. Recommendations and referrals will be provided at this time.
