Comprehensive Autism Evaluations for Every Stage of Life
Serving children and adolescents ages 2–18
I provide autism evaluations for toddlers, children, teens, and adults. No matter the stage of life, the goal is to offer clarity, understanding, and guidance tailored to each person’s unique needs.
Subtle signs identified
I pay close attention to the small details others may overlook—things that might not stand out in a brief appointment but can have a big impact on daily life and development.
High-functioning girls focus
Girls and women often present differently than boys and can be missed or misdiagnosed. My evaluations are designed to recognize these differences and validate experiences that may have gone unnoticed.
PDA traits evaluated
I include screening and evaluation for Pathological Demand Avoidance traits, which can affect behavior, stress levels, and the ability to engage in everyday demands, both at home and in school.
Gold-standard tools used
Every evaluation uses research-backed, widely recognized tools to ensure accuracy, reliability, and a comprehensive understanding of strengths and challenges.
Strengths-based approach
While identifying challenges is important, I also focus on what each person does well. This balanced perspective helps create recommendations that build on existing skills and abilities.
School collaboration included
When appropriate, I work directly with teachers, support staff, and school teams to make sure strategies and supports are carried over into the classroom for real, everyday impact.
Understanding your child starts with the right evaluation. I provide autism assessments for individuals of all ages, from early childhood through adulthood, so no one’s needs are overlooked. Whether you’re noticing early differences or seeking clarity for your teens, you’ll find a supportive and respectful space here.
