Evaluations for Autism in McLean, VA
Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), encompasses a wide variety of conditions marked by difficulties in social interactions, repetitive actions, speech, and nonverbal communication. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that approximately 1 in 36 children in the United States are impacted by autism.
Our assessments for autism for both adults and children can be conducted as part of a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation or as a separate evaluation. Our team performs a thorough examination of developmental history and employs various standardized measures to evaluate consistent differences in social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities, and/or intense interests or areas of expertise. Additionally, our assessments encompass an evaluation of cognitive and language abilities, along with input gathered from parents, teachers, and caregivers. Through verbal feedback and a written report, we offer comprehensive insights into an individual’s distinct cognitive strengths and areas requiring assistance, enabling us to provide targeted recommendations across different environments.
