In addition to ADHD and our other assessment and testing services, UCEBT provides Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) evaluations for individuals aged 2 through adulthood as part of our comprehensive assessment services.
These evaluations can be included in psychoeducational assessments if ASD is suspected to impact academic functioning. However, ASD is a pervasive neurodevelopmental condition that affects many areas of life beyond academics, and not all individuals with ASD face academic challenges.
Many adults seek evaluations to explore whether they have undiagnosed ASD, particularly in high-functioning presentations. Our autism assessments use evidence-based procedures to determine if ASD criteria are met, while also addressing co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, social anxiety, or OCD. Academic testing is included when relevant to the individual’s needs.
ADHD and ASD can be diagnosed in adulthood and may explain chronic challenges such as difficulties with work, daily tasks, relationships, and maintaining obligations. Many adults come to us frustrated by past diagnoses of mood, anxiety, or personality disorders and treatments that have not resolved their struggles.
Our assessments use evidence-based methods to evaluate cognitive, behavioral, and social-emotional symptoms, tailored to how neurodevelopmental disorders manifest in adults.
Since ADHD and ASD criteria require symptoms to have been present in childhood, we include parent or caregiver interviews, past testing, and school records as part of the evaluation process.
New for 2025: We are now able to provide adult Autism evaluations via telehealth in over 40 states!
Our collaborative approach ensures every case is grounded in data and benefits from collective expertise. We stay current with research, consult with community professionals, and continually refine our methods to provide the highest quality assessments.
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2)
We utilize the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), recognized as the gold standard for autism evaluations. Often required by insurance companies for accessing services like speech or occupational therapy, the ADOS-2 is just one part of our comprehensive approach.
Our clinicians incorporate multiple measures and gather information from various settings to deliver thorough, evidence-based assessments.
Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum, Second Edition (MIGDAS-2)
In addition to the ADOS-2, many of our clinicians are trained in using the Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum, Second Edition (MIGDAS-2). The MIGDAS-2 has an extensive research base for delineating autistic and neurotypical behaviors.
The neuroaffirming languages focuses on strengths and traits unique to autism and how to best describe a persons profile regarding sensory processing, interests, communication, emotion regulation, and relationships.
Testing is a standalone service offered at UCEBT. However, if you are interested in seeking therapy services, we can refer you to the appropriate treatment team. You would not have to complete an initial intake and would be placed at the top of the list to be scheduled with an available clinician that is trained and experienced in the best evidence-based treatment for you.
Treatment Options Include:
Testing is billed hourly, reflecting the extensive training and expertise of our licensed clinicians, who bring over a decade of experience to each evaluation.
We understand that the cost may feel significant, but this ensures the most accurate diagnoses and recommendations tailored to your needs.
To prioritize high-quality, individualized care, we operate on a direct-pay basis and provide receipts to help with insurance reimbursement, though academic testing is often not covered by insurance.
After the initial intake session, the clinician will estimate the hours needed for services.
Estimated average range is 12 – 16 hours. ($1,800 — $3,680 depending on hours and evaluator).
Note: These estimates include cognitive and academic testing.
*When available. Postdoctoral Fellows and Advanced Doctoral Students are closely supervised by Licensed Clinicians and have had years of training and experience.
Gain clarity and confidence with our specialized autism evaluations. Let us help you or your loved one navigate the path toward greater understanding and support.
The unique mission of UCEBT is to improve the quality of mental health care by enhancing access to comprehensive evidence-based treatments, evaluations, and testing.
