⚠️ Important Notes
Online Testing Caution:
Some services offer fully virtual assessments via telehealth or self-paced formats. While convenient, they may not be as comprehensive as in-person neuropsychological evaluations—especially for complex needs such as autism, which often require observation-based tools like the ADOS-2.
Always confirm that:
The provider evaluates for the specific condition you’re concerned about.
The assessment is standardized, diagnostic, and appropriate for your needs.
Note on Limited Online Services:
Testing from quick-assessment platforms (e.g., Done, Cerebral, or similar services) is not accepted by this practice for the purpose of prescribing controlled substances. These evaluations may not meet established clinical or regulatory standards and are often not considered sufficient for comprehensive diagnostic decision-making.
