Autism, ADHD and neurodevelopmental evaluations

Ages 1+

Comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD/ADD, OCD, learning disabilities, anxiety and mood disorders, and giftedness or twice-exceptional (2E) profiles. Autism evaluations use the ADOS along with cognitive and behavioral assessments, and start as early as 18 months and continue through adulthood. Each assessment includes a clinical interview, developmental history review, standardized testing, observation and a feedback session with a detailed written report and recommendations for therapy, school supports and community resources. A typical autism evaluation is an intake, 1-2 testing sessions and a feedback session, completed in about 2-4 weeks. The practice also does evaluations for standardized-test accommodations (ISEE, SSAT, SAT, ACT), IEP and independent educational evaluation support, and reviews of prior reports. Offered in person at the Pasadena office (the practice also has a Newport Beach office), with telehealth or hybrid appointments when appropriate, and serves families across Los Angeles County. The site says it is accepting new patients and can answer questions about insurance coverage.
