Autism Testing: Comprehensive Insights Into Your Child’s Development & Unique Learning Profile

Autism Testing

Whole Mind Psychological Services offers specialized psychological evaluations, counseling support, and school-based consultation to help families better understand their child’s communication style, social development, behaviors, and learning needs. Our autism testing process focuses on identifying each child’s individual strengths while providing clear guidance for meaningful support.

An Autism Evaluation can help explore:
Social communication skills and how your child connects with others
Differences in verbal and nonverbal communication patterns
Sensory experiences and responses to everyday environments
Behavioral patterns, routines, and areas where flexibility may be challenging
Developmental strengths and support needs that influence learning and daily life

Our evaluations help families gain a deeper understanding of their child’s unique perspective and identify strategies that support confidence, independence, and positive growth. We work with families to create practical recommendations that can be used at home, in school, and within the community.

Every child has their own way of experiencing the world. With the right understanding and personalized support, children with autism can develop important skills, celebrate their strengths, and continue building meaningful connections.

What Our Clients Say

Our daughter was a high-performing and engaged student, but was challenged with standard classroom environments and ways of learning. The assessment process was incredibly thorough, supportive, and empowering, and the recommendations translated directly into practical classroom strategies. Today, our daughter is thriving with confidence and a love of learning at college!

Rhonda M.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.

Colleague

What sets Michelle apart is how she presents complex findings in a way that families truly understand. I’ve sat in meetings where parents arrived anxious and overwhelmed, and left feeling informed, reassured, and empowered. She has a rare ability to balance clinical depth with warmth and clarity.
