Comprehensive Neurodivergence Testing Approach
Current thinking shows that ADHD and autism, as well as other neurodevelopmental conditions (OCD, dyslexia, etc.) overlap frequently. I use a “test together” approach — assessing for all conditions in one, comprehensive evaluation.
What Does the Evaluation Process Look Like?
Testing includes an intake session (1 hour, parents only for kids), a testing session (2 hours), and a feedback session (1 hour, parents only for kids). All sessions can be completed in-person or online.
What the Evaluation Includes:
Here is what you can expect from the ADHD/autism Evaluation process:
Intake session with clear emphasis on establishing goals for evaluation. Focused discussion of developmental, educational, social, and emotional history.
Standardized testing using age-appropriate measures.
Expert feedback personalized for your unique situation, with recommendations and referrals.
Written report (and PDF file) that optimizes readability and shareability.

Healing Through Evaluation
Diagnosis can be a powerful, liberating tool that deepens self-understanding and offers new perspectives. For many, it’s a life-changing step that opens access to supports, accommodations, and helps others better understand who you are.
The evaluation process itself can be healing—sharing your story with a caring professional often brings insight, validation, and hope.
