Assessment

ADHD and ASD Evaluations

BASE is pleased to offer Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) evaluations for children, teens, and adults. The purpose of these evaluations is to provide a comprehensive assessment of attention concerns, hyperactivity/impulsivity, social communication and interaction, and/or restricted and repetitive patterns of interest and behaviors. Evaluations also include a snapshot of broad social and emotional functioning.

Each evaluation begins with an intake appointment to gather a detailed history of the presenting concerns. Questionnaires will also be used to collect information from caregivers, teachers, and the client themselves, as relevant, regarding the presence of symptoms and difficulties across settings.

Additionally, an assessment session may be scheduled to complete any standardized measures in-person as needed.

Finally, a feedback session will be scheduled to review the results of the evaluation. The evaluator will complete a report summarizing the findings and recommendations associated with the assessment, which can then be shared (at the individual’s and/or caregiver’s discretion) with other providers, including doctors, school personnel, and/or therapists.

Of note, evaluations at BASE will not include developmental, cognitive, or academic achievement testing and are not designed to rule out intellectual or learning disabilities. If we determine that this type of evaluation is necessary, we can offer referrals to meet these needs.
