Comprehensive Diagnostic Evalution
KGH Autism Services is pleased to offer comprehensive diagnostic and psychological evaluation services to support the early identification of autism.
When it comes to your child’s growth and development, you are the expert. If you have concerns, it’s essential to seek answers and support.
Seasoned Licensed psychologists with expertise in the evaluation of autism in children and adolescents conduct our evaluations to accurately diagnose or rule-out autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as other common co-occuring conditions including ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Having an accurate diagnosis is key to connecting individuals to the appropriate supports and services.
What is included in a comprehensive evaluation?
- Initial developmental interview with the parent or caregiver, and the individual as appropriate
- Review of existing medical, social, academic, and developmental records
- Developmental or cognitive testing as indicated to assess for learning differences
- Standardized behavioral observation using evidence-based assessment tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2)
- Collection of parent/caregiver and teacher adaptive and behavioral rating scales
- Face to face feedback and discussion of evaluation results and recommendations
- Written report of evaluation results and findings
The length of the evaluation process varies depending on the age of the child and complexity of presenting concerns, but at KGH we pride ourselves on our timeliness in the completion of evaluations.
