Autism Assessments & Intellectual Developmental Disorder Assessments
Seeking an assessment can feel overwhelming. At Deep Insight Psychology, we provide a thoughtful, structured process designed to bring clarity, understanding, and guidance. Whether you are wondering about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), or both, our evaluations are thorough, supportive, and tailored to you.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation for individuals experiencing social, communication, or behavioral differences. This service also includes IDD testing when relevant, providing a complete diagnostic picture.
What’s included:
- Free 15-minute consultation (phone or video)
- In-person evaluation using gold-standard autism tools
- Clinical interview & history review
- Intellectual developmental disorder testing
- Adaptive functioning assessment
- Concise written report
- Personalized feedback session to review results
Cost: $4,250
This process helps clarify whether Autism Spectrum Disorder or Intellectual Developmental Disorder may be present. If results indicate a diagnosis, the written summary can be used to support requests for accommodations in school, work, or community settings. Regardless of outcome, you will receive tailored recommendations and resources to better understand strengths, challenges, and next steps.
Intellectual Developmental Disorder Assessment
A focused evaluation designed to understand intellectual functioning and adaptive skills. This assessment provides clarity about strengths and areas of need, and offers practical guidance for supports, accommodations, and next steps.
What’s included:
- Free 15-minute consultation (phone or video)
- In-person assessment of intellectual functioning
- Clinical interview & history review
- Adaptive functioning assessment
- Concise written report
- Personalized feedback session to review findings
Cost: $3,000
This evaluation helps identify intellectual strengths and challenges, offering clarity about daily functioning and support needs. If results confirm IDD, documentation may assist with accessing services or requesting accommodations. Either way, you will leave with clear guidance for supports that best fit your situation.
Who should consider an assessment?
You may benefit from an evaluation if you or a loved one is experiencing challenges with communication, relationships, work, or independent living and want clarity about what might be underlying these experiences.
- Wondered about autism spectrum differences in yourself or your adult child
- Experienced ongoing difficulties with learning, problem-solving, or daily functioning
- Noticed differences in social interaction or adaptability compared to peers
- Needed documentation for accommodations at school, college, or work
- Sooner appointments (avoid long wait times often experienced through other agencies)
- Confidential evaluations (private pay only — no insurance billing, for those who prefer not to have a diagnosis on file)

Frequently Asked Questions
We know starting the assessment process can feel overwhelming. To make things easier, here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about consultations, scheduling, and what to expect.
Who do you provide assessments for?
Our assessments are available for individuals age 12 and older. We do not provide evaluations for children under 12.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your plan’s benefits.
Can I use results to request accommodations?
If the evaluation confirms a diagnosis, the written summary may support accommodation requests at school, work, or in the community. Final eligibility decisions are made by the institution.
Are assessments done in person or virtual?
All assessments are conducted in person to ensure accuracy and standardized testing conditions. Consultations and feedback sessions may be done virtually, but the evaluation itself must take place at our office.
When are assessments scheduled?
Assessments are offered on weekdays only. Depending on the scope of testing, they may last from midmorning to midafternoon. Please plan accordingly.
How long is the consultation?
The initial consultation is a 15-minute video call. It’s designed to answer your questions, learn about your needs, and determine whether an assessment is the right next step.
Is this a full neuropsychological evaluation?
No. These are focused limited scope assessments for ASD and/or IDD.
How long does the overall process take?
From the date of the in-person assessment, a feedback appointment is scheduled one month later.
