Booking Process: Psychometric Assessments

Assessment Types

• ADI-R: The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is a structured clinical interview used by professionals to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in individuals. The ADI-R is considered one of the gold standard tools for assessing and diagnosing autism. It is typically administered to parents or caregivers of individuals suspected of having ASD, and it covers various aspects of the individual's behavior and development, focusing on early childhood experiences.

​​

• CARS-2: The CARS-2 consists of a set of items and observational guidelines that assess various aspects of a child's behavior, communication, and social interactions. During an assessment, a trained evaluator observes the child and rates their behavior based on specific criteria. The CARS-2 scoring helps in categorizing the child's autism-related behaviors, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and understanding of the severity of ASD symptoms.

​​

• SRS: The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) is a widely used assessment tool for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is designed to evaluate social behaviors and communication skills in individuals, helping in the diagnosis and evaluation of ASD. The SRS consists of a questionnaire that is typically completed by parents, caregivers, or teachers who are familiar with the individual's behavior.​

​​

• WISC-V: The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) is a widely used intelligence test designed to assess the cognitive abilities and intellectual functioning of children aged 6 to 16 years. The WISC-V assesses a range of cognitive domains, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. It consists of a series of subtests that measure different aspects of intelligence, such as vocabulary, similarities, matrix reasoning, digit span, and symbol search, among others.

​​

• WIAT-III: The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Third Edition (WIAT-III), is a widely used assessment tool designed to measure the academic achievement and skills of individuals aged 4 to 50 years. It is employed to evaluate an individual's performance in various academic domains, such as reading, writing, mathematics, and oral language. The WIAT-III consists of a battery of subtests that assess different academic skills, including reading comprehension, spelling, mathematical problem-solving, and listening comprehension, among others.

​​

• ADOS-2: The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), is a widely recognized and standardized assessment tool used for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in individuals of varying ages, ranging from toddlers to adults. The ADOS-2 is considered one of the most reliable instruments for assessing social communication and interaction behaviors indicative of ASD. During the ADOS-2 assessment, a trained clinician engages in structured social interactions with the individual being evaluated. These interactions are designed to elicit specific behaviors related to communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors.

​​

• BRIEF: The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) is a widely used psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual's executive functioning skills. The BRIEF consists of a series of questions that address various aspects of executive function, including cognitive flexibility, working memory, self-control, and organization. Respondents rate the frequency and severity of specific behaviors related to these functions, helping to identify areas of strength and areas that may require intervention or support.

​

• TEA-CH2: The Test of Everyday Attention for Children, Second Edition (TEA-Ch2), is a widely used psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate various aspects of attention and executive functioning in children aged 6 to 16 years. It helps assess how well children can focus, sustain attention, switch between tasks, and control impulsivity in their everyday lives.

​​

• CPT-3: The Continuous Performance Test, Third Edition (CPT-3), is a psychological assessment tool commonly used to evaluate an individual's sustained attention and vigilance. During the CPT-3, the individual is asked to respond to a series of visual or auditory stimuli presented on a computer screen or through headphones. These stimuli typically consist of letters, numbers, or other symbols. The test measures the individual's ability to sustain attention over an extended period and to respond accurately to target stimuli while ignoring distractors.

​​

• CATA: The Conners Continuous Auditory Test of Attention (CATA) is a psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual's sustained auditory attention and vigilance. During the CATA, the individual listens to a continuous stream of auditory stimuli, typically in the form of tones or sounds, and is instructed to respond when specific target stimuli are presented. The test measures the person's ability to sustain attention over an extended period and accurately respond to the designated target sounds while ignoring distractors.

​​

• SNAP-IV: The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-IV (SNAP-IV) Rating Scale consists of a series of questions or items that assess ADHD symptoms, as well as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) symptoms. Respondents rate the frequency and severity of specific behaviors related to these disorders. The SNAP-IV covers various aspects of ADHD, including inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and behavioral problems.
