Intellectual Disability (ID) Diagnostic Evaluation
-
This targeted evaluation is designed to determine whether or not a youth has an intellectual disability (ID). Because this evaluation is confined in scope, overall conceptualization, recommendations, and the ability to rule-out other conditions can be limited.
-
This is recommended when there is a specific question regarding ID, and no broader questions of comprehensive neurocognitive functioning. Often this type of evaluation can be used to request services.
This service is also offered for adults, but either a record review (up to 1 inch thick) or consent to involve a parent is needed.
-
In-person testing usually takes between one and two hours. A cognitive or IQ measure is administered along with a rating form of adaptive functioning.
A brief interview will also occur with both the parent and youth.
-
The fee for this evaluation is $850.
This fee includes all aspects of the evaluation: a brief interview with the parent and youth, in-person cognitive testing, a rating form of adaptive functioning, a report, and brief feedback to the parent.
If the evaluation is for an adult, the adult is encouraged to consent to parent (or a relative who knew them when they were young) involvement. The adult individuals will receive the report and feedback.
