Autism Spectrum Disorder Evaluation Referral
Psychoeducational evaluations are individualized based on the specific needs of each client. I conduct all of the testing myself and do not use interns or practicum students. I am currently not providing autism evaluations, but can provide you with referrals. I accept clients in K4 to College/Graduate School.
Consultation
I am available for consultation with families, individuals, and other providers, including school professionals, therapists, counselors, physicians, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists in order to provide for a continuum of care.
Insurance
I do not take insurance, but following the evaluation, I will be able to provide you with a “Superbill” that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I recommend that you call your insurance provider before the evaluation to see what your benefits may be for out-of-network services.
