Types of Evaluations

Comprehensive autism evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. We assess individuals across the lifespan, including those seeking a first diagnosis later in life and people whose autistic traits may have been overlooked or masked. Evaluations consider developmental history, social communication, behavior, cognitive functioning, and other conditions that may overlap with autism.

Lifespan

Assessment Across the Lifespan

Psychological concerns can emerge, change, or become recognized at any stage of life. Cogniscribe provides comprehensive psychological assessment for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Each evaluation is tailored to the individual’s age, developmental history, current concerns, and the specific questions the assessment is intended to answer.

Children

Early assessment can help clarify concerns involving development, attention, learning, behavior, social communication, and emotional functioning. We provide comprehensive evaluations designed to identify a child’s strengths and challenges, clarify diagnoses when appropriate, and provide practical recommendations for families, treatment providers, and educational planning.

Adolescents

Adolescence brings significant developmental, academic, social, and emotional changes that can make diagnostic questions particularly complex. We evaluate concerns such as ADHD, autism, learning difficulties, cognitive functioning, mood, anxiety, and other psychological conditions while considering the adolescent’s broader developmental and clinical picture.

Adults

Many adults seek psychological assessment after years of unexplained difficulties with attention, executive functioning, relationships, social communication, learning, emotional functioning, or daily life. We provide adult evaluations for ADHD, autism, cognitive concerns, and complex diagnostic questions.

Older Adults

There is no age at which it is inherently “too late” to seek greater understanding of lifelong psychological or neurodevelopmental differences. Cogniscribe evaluates older adults, including individuals exploring autism or ADHD for the first time later in life, as well as those seeking clarification of cognitive or psychological concerns. Evaluations consider the individual’s life history, current functioning, and the ways symptoms and coping strategies may have changed over time.
