About Autism Assessment
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents differently in every individual. A comprehensive autism assessment at CPS evaluates social communication, restricted and repetitive behaviors, sensory processing, and adaptive functioning using multiple validated tools. This page is for parents of young children or adults who suspect they (or their child) may be on the autism spectrum.
We assess children, adolescents, and adults — including individuals seeking a late diagnosis. Our evaluations are especially thorough for complex presentations, including autism in females, gifted individuals, and those with co-occurring ADHD or anxiety.
Every autism assessment at CPS includes the gold-standard ADOS-2 observation, cognitive testing, adaptive behavior measures, developmental history, and a comprehensive report with recommendations for therapy, school support, and community resources.
