AUTISM and/or ADHD ASSESSMENTS
My assessment for Autism and/or ADHD is built on a research interest and specialization in neurodivergent women. For clinical autism assessment, I follow the WRADIANCE© protocol for which I have co-led the development over the past five years. The WRADIANCE© comprises two parts: the writing of a narrative document that takes the place of primary interview and observation, and a 150-item True/False questionnaire that replaces the Likert-type scale that so many autistic women find problematic. The foundation of the WRADIANCE© is that autistic women can present very differently from the stereotypes about autism that are mired in a medical model drawn from observations of males.

Autism Assessments
A comprehensive diagnostic assessment for autism, the assessment involves several components, including the WRADIANCE© protocol, clinical interview, and administration of multiple autism and autism-related assessments. The assessment also involves an in-person or Zoom assessment meeting and a follow-up results meeting. A comprehensive report is generated, along with customized therapy and/or accommodation recommendations should the autism diagnosis criteria be met.
ADHD Assessments
The ADHD assessment includes a short narrative document responding to writing prompts and administration of multiple ADHD and ADHD-related assessments, and an in-person or Zoom assessment meeting. A comprehensive assessment report is generated based on the clinical and assessment findings, along with customized therapy and/or accommodation recommendations should the ADHD criteria be met.
