Our Services

We provide comprehensive, highly individualized evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults, with a strong focus on helping families obtain clear diagnoses, meaningful recommendations, and access to appropriate supports. Our evaluations are designed to answer the questions parents and schools are truly asking—and to translate results into practical next steps for school, home, and treatment settings.

Families often come to us after prior evaluations were inconclusive, incomplete, or did not reflect their child’s true abilities. We specialize in complex profiles, including children who are nonverbal, minimally verbal, anxious, behaviorally challenged, or difficult to assess using standard testing approaches.

Autism Diagnostic Evaluations

(Core Service)

We provide gold-standard autism diagnostic evaluations across the lifespan—from toddlers through adults—including individuals with limited language, sensory sensitivities, or behavioral interference.

Our autism evaluations integrate:

• ADOS-2 (all modules, selected appropriately)
• ADI-R and in-depth developmental history interviews
• Adaptive behavior measures (Vineland-3, ABAS-3)
• Naturalistic, play-based, and real-world observation
• Careful differential diagnosis when autism overlaps with ADHD, anxiety, language disorders, or intellectual disability

Our goal is not just diagnosis, but diagnostic clarity that meaningfully supports services, school planning, and treatment.

Specialized Cognitive Testing for Complex Profiles

Many children cannot demonstrate their abilities on traditional tests. We use specialized cognitive measures that allow accurate assessment even when standard tools are not appropriate.

Flexible and Nonverbal Cognitive Measures include:

• Stanford-Binet–5 (SB-5)
• Leiter-3
• C-TONI-2
• KABC-II (Nonverbal Index)
• Mullen Scales of Early Learning
• Raven’s Progressive Matrices

Our testing approach is intentionally supportive and child-centered, incorporating:

• Shortened or flexible sessions
• Built-in breaks and low-demand entry tasks
• Sensory-aware and trauma-informed practices
• Desensitization for anxious or avoidant children
• Behavioral supports for children with aggression, self-injury, elopement, or severe rigidity
• Parent collaboration when appropriate

This approach allows us to capture true ability, not just test compliance.

Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)

We provide district-funded and private-pay IEEs that are thorough, defensible, and clearly written for CSE and 504 decision-making.

IEEs may include:

• Autism diagnostic clarification
• Neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations
• Executive function and behavioral assessments
• Specialized cognitive testing for complex learners

All IEEs include:

• Review of prior school records and evaluations
• Classroom observation when appropriate
• Clear diagnostic conclusions
• Evidence-based recommendations
• Direct guidance for CSE and 504 meetings
• Explicit mapping to IEP goals, services, and accommodations

Diagnostic Clarity for IEPs & 504 Plans

We help families and schools clearly distinguish between overlapping or commonly confused conditions, including:

• Autism vs. ADHD
• Autism vs. Language Disorder
• Autism vs. Intellectual Disability (including nonverbal profiles)
• Learning disability vs. instructional mismatch
• Executive function deficits vs. motivation
• Anxiety, OCD, or emotional dysregulation vs. defiance
• Cognitive impairment vs. performance-based limitations

Our reports support:

• IEP eligibility and classification decisions
• 504 accommodations
• Related service recommendations
• Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)
• Executive-function and organizational supports
• Assistive technology
• Transition planning for adolescence and adulthood

Neuropsychological Evaluation Services

We evaluate a broad range of neurodevelopmental, neurological, and neuropsychiatric conditions, including:

Neurodevelopmental Conditions

• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• ADHD
• Specific Learning Disabilities
• Intellectual Disability
• Executive Function Disorders

Neurological & Medical Conditions

• Dementias and cognitive decline
• Traumatic brain injury
• Concussion and post-concussive syndromes
• Long COVID and other chronic encephalopathies

Bilingual & Spanish-Language Assessments

We offer comprehensive evaluations in Spanish for children, adolescents, and adults when Spanish is the individual’s primary or strongest language. Providing assessment in the appropriate language is essential for accurate diagnosis, fair cognitive measurement, and meaningful educational and clinical recommendations.

Our Spanish-language evaluations are not translations of English testing. We use standardized, norm-referenced instruments developed specifically for Spanish-speaking populations, along with culturally informed interpretation and careful consideration of bilingual language exposure.

Spanish assessment tools may include:

• WISC-V Spanish
• WPPSI-IV Spanish
• Woodcock-Muñoz IV / Batería IV
• Batería III
• NEPSY-II Spanish subtests
• TONI-4 / C-TONI-2 (language-reduced)
• Leiter-3 (nonverbal)
• Raven’s Progressive Matrices
• Vineland-3 (Spanish)
• ABAS-3 (Spanish)

When appropriate, we also conduct bilingual evaluations, carefully examining how language dominance, exposure, and educational history may influence performance. This allows us to distinguish language difference from learning disability, cognitive impairment, or neurodevelopmental disorder.

Spanish-language and bilingual assessments are available for:

• Autism diagnostic evaluations
• Psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessments
• Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
• OPWDD-related evaluations
• IEP and 504 planning

Our goal is to ensure that Spanish-speaking individuals and families receive accurate, respectful, and defensible evaluations that truly reflect their abilities and support access to appropriate services.

Adult, Workplace & Forensic Evaluations

We also provide evaluations for adults and organizations, including:

• Licensing and exam accommodations
• Workplace cognitive evaluations
• Return-to-work recommendations
• Personal injury and forensic neuropsychological assessments
• Evaluation of neurological factors impacting behavior or decision-making
