AUTISM ASSESSMENT

 A Different Standard of Care

We are a specialized center for autism assessment, psychotherapy, and individualized developmental programs for young adults and teens (ages 14–30+).

More than a clinic, we build on strengths while offering a level of depth and attunement rarely found in traditional settings.

Autism assessment should be tailored to the individual. We utilize the gold-standard instrument: the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). We also use many other tools (i.e., Dp-4, ABAS-3, Extensive Clinical Interview, CAT-Q).

We offer a comprehensive Six Systems Developmental Mapping™, which is an advanced ecologically valid assessment tool.

This analysis allows us to understand each individual as a complex and evolving human life form, embedded across six essential systems:

·

  • Physical Body

  • Family Systems

  • Social & Cultural Context

  • Natural World

  • World of Abstractions (Art/Music/Visual, Spatial, and Cognitive Beliefs)

  • Dimension of Meaning & Spirituality

Through comprehensive assessment and deeply attuned therapeutic work, we uncover what has been missed—and develop a clear, individualized path forward toward greater integration, participation, and lived fulfillment.
