Neurodevelopmental Assessment
At MCA, we offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments to support adults and seniors experiencing a range of developmental challenges. Our team is dedicated to providing thorough evaluations for conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and undiagnosed social-emotional difficulties.
Understanding Neurodevelopmental Assessments
Neurodevelopmental assessments are designed to identify and understand the specific needs and abilities of individuals with developmental concerns. These evaluations involve a detailed examination of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social functioning to provide an accurate diagnosis and inform effective intervention strategies.
Comprehensive Evaluation Process
Our assessment process is completed entirely virtually and includes:
- Initial Interview: We begin with a thorough discussion of the individual's history and presenting concerns. This also includes with your permission, a separate collateral interview with a parent/family member/friend who knows you well.
- Testing and Observation: Utilizing various self-report questionnaires and observational methods, we evaluate cognitive abilities, attention, behavior, social/interpersonal abilities and more.
- Feedback and Recommendations: After the assessment, we provide a detailed report with our findings, diagnosis/es (if applicable) and personalized recommendations for intervention and support.
