3) Evidence based psychological testing for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions. We are looking for colleagues interested in developing targeted assessments to re-evaluate progress and design treatment interventions for this population as well as participating in our established diagnostic assessment program.
