Psychological Report
You will receive a Psychological Report including Diagnoses and Recommendations. You can share this report with your child’s school and/or physician if you choose. You will then have a 30 minute virtual feedback session to review the results and recommendations.
Benefits of our Autism Evaluations
Feedback can often be provided immediately. We typically collect information beforehand, so that you can leave the session knowing if your child meets ASD criteria. (Additional data may be requested in certain circumstances).
Recommendations are specifically tailored to your child and family.
Dr. Hannah is highly trained in autism and is able to determine an accurate diagnosis even if your child is a female and/or “high-masking”.
Evaluations are fully Confidential. Results will not be shared unless you decide to share them yourself or seek insurance reimbursement.
Our evaluations are targeted to your child. We will assess for autism specific characteristics as well as others based on your specific concerns (for instance: adaptive behavior, ADHD traits, developmental level, anxiety, depression).
Testing is thorough but we strive to make it manageable to you and your child. The evaluation is conducted to specifically look at ASD and psychological traits. Additional testing (e.g. cognitive, learning) is only added when necessary.
