Intellectual Disability, ADHD & Giftedness
The three conditions most often confused for one another in the same child. Evaluated together, in one process, by a clinician who knows what to look for.
What this assessment answers
Is your child's challenge cognitive, attentional, or something else? Could they be twice-exceptional, gifted and also struggling? Is this a global delay or a specific learning difference?
Rather than sending your family through three separate evaluations at three separate clinics, we run cognitive, adaptive, and behavioral testing in a single visit and write one integrated report.
Measures we use
- Cognitive and intellectual testing. WISC-V, WAIS-IV, WPPSI-IV, or WASI-II, matched to your child's age and presentation.
- Adaptive functioning. ABAS-3 questionnaires for parents, teachers, and other adults who know your child well.
- ADHD-specific measures. Behavior rating scales and attentional testing where indicated.
- Giftedness indicators. Full-scale IQ, index-level strengths, and pattern analysis for twice-exceptional profiles.
Who this is for
Parents who suspect their child may be gifted but is underperforming. Families navigating a possible ADHD diagnosis and wanting to rule out other contributors. Caregivers seeking eligibility documentation for school services, IEPs, or Regional Center supports.
Autism & Intellectual Disability
The specialty Dr. Levi is known for. Gold-standard instruments, combined testing, and reports that Regional Centers, schools, and insurance providers accept the first time.
What this assessment answers
Does your child meet criteria for autism spectrum disorder? If so, what are the specific support needs? Is there a co-occurring intellectual disability, and if so, where are the relative strengths we can build on?
We evaluate across the seven domains of ASD deficit described in the DSM-5, integrating direct behavioral observation with parent report, collateral interviews, and standardized testing.
Measures we use
- ADOS-2. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition. The gold-standard behavioral observation tool.
- ADI-R. Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised, conducted with parents to capture developmental history.
- Cognitive testing. WISC-V, WAIS-IV, or WASI-II as age-appropriate, to characterize intellectual functioning.
- Adaptive functioning. ABAS-3 questionnaires for multiple respondents.
- Social communication. SRS-2 and other measures as clinically indicated.
The "two pairs of eyes" advantage
Every autism evaluation is observed by a master's-level psychological associate from start to finish. Two clinicians, two independent behavioral observations, one report that catches the nuance a single observer would miss. At no additional cost.
Mental Health — Depression, Anxiety & More
Evaluations for emotional and behavioral conditions across kids, teens, and adults, with recommendations grounded in the specific person rather than a diagnostic category.
What this assessment addresses
Depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related presentations, impulse-control difficulties, and the behavioral challenges that sometimes mask an underlying developmental or neurocognitive condition.
When mental health concerns show up in a child or adolescent, the right question often isn't only "what diagnosis?" but also "what else is going on underneath?" Combined assessment lets us answer both at once.
Measures we use
- MMPI-3. For older adolescents and adults, a rigorous research-backed inventory of personality and psychopathology.
- Behavior rating scales. Broadband and targeted measures matched to presenting concerns.
- Clinical interview. Structured interviewing with the client, and for minors, with parents and other collateral caregivers.
- Integrated testing. Where appropriate, cognitive and adaptive measures to rule out contributors.
Who this is for
Families who have tried traditional therapy without getting clarity on what's driving their child's distress. Adults seeking formal evaluation for diagnostic or documentation purposes. Anyone whose mental health presentation may be entangled with a developmental or neurocognitive condition.
Therapy
Select therapy cases are accepted where clinical fit is strong, often as a continuation of care after a thorough assessment.
How therapy fits into our practice
Assessment is the core of what we do, and the practice is structured around doing it very well. Therapy is offered on a more limited basis, typically for families whose assessment surfaced needs we're well-positioned to address ourselves.
For some families, that looks like a short course of sessions to translate assessment findings into a workable plan at home and school. For others, it's longer-term work that builds directly on the diagnostic clarity gained through evaluation.
What to expect
Availability for new therapy clients is limited and varies over time. Please ask about openings during your intake call, or mention therapy in the notes field on our contact form.
If we're not the right fit
If ongoing therapy isn't something we can offer, we'll say so directly and, where possible, point you toward clinicians whose practices are better suited to what you're looking for. The goal is always getting your family to the right care, whether that's with us or somewhere else.
Standardized testing, child-friendly delivery.
The instruments are rigorous. The administration is gentle. Most kids leave thinking they spent the morning playing games rather than taking a test, and that's intentional.
Toys. Picture cards. Block patterns. Story sequences. Conversations that don't feel like interrogation. The data we collect is the same data a clinical exam would yield. The experience of giving it is closer to a long, focused playdate.
From first call to final report.
Every assessment follows the same four-step process. Timelines vary by referral question and scheduling. Most families move from inquiry to finished report in a matter of weeks, not the months typical of other practices.
Chart review & intake
We review referral concerns, developmental history, and any prior testing to plan an assessment approach tailored to your child's questions.
Questionnaires sent
ABAS-3 and relevant rating scales go out to parents, teachers, and other adults. These are scored and integrated into the final report.
Testing sessions
Direct standardized testing with Dr. Levi, observed throughout by a psychological associate. Two pairs of eyes, no extra charge.
Integrated report
All the data — cognitive, adaptive, behavioral, parental — synthesized into a comprehensive report with individualized recommendations and a feedback session.
A diagnosis is a beginning, not an ending.
The value of an assessment isn't in the diagnostic label. It's in what the report makes possible for your family: the services, accommodations, and supports it opens access to.
Dr. Levi's reports are written with the endpoint in mind. Every section is structured to meet the documentation standards of the systems your family will actually interact with.
