NEURODIVERGENCE ASSESSMENT
(CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS 7-17)
The following assessments are suitable for children and adolescents who are experiencing impacts on their well-being that might be due to the mismatch between a neurodivergent brain pattern and neurotypical (typically-developing people) expectations and demands.

A cognitive assessment is not an essential part of an Autism/ADHD assessment but can provide helpful insight into the individual's pattern of cognitive abilities, particularly if there are concerns regarding their learning. The cost of a cognitive assessment, including scoring and report writing, is approximately $550.
Vanessa will discuss this option with parents at the parent intake session and make recommendations based on the information provided. The decision for whether to include a cognitive assessment will be up to the parent and child/adolescent.
