Individual Assessment: For 1 Spouse to be Assessed for NeuroDiversity

​

*** If you are married, your spouse is required to be part of the assessment, as the assessment used requires spousal input. However, many spouses may not feel comfortable or free to communicate at the same time.

Assessments can be done with the spouse present (this is usually the most inexpensive route) OR time can be arranged separately for the assessment, but both spouses must be present or the results must be recorded for both spouses to know the results.

 

The testing rate is $200 an hour. On average, the time allotment is 4 hours if done together (including results) and can take up to 8 hours if done separately.

Any emails that are sent for additional information require the cost of time to read.

Relational Assessment for Both Spouses Assessed for NeuroDiversity

 

While Dr. Stephanie C. Holmes has been an LPC and trained in diagnosis for Autism Spectrum and ADHD, this assessment is a Relationship Assessment.  This assessment is for personal knowledge and to inform relationship work through coaching or counseling. This is not a medical diagnosis and cannot be used to qualify for SSI Disability or ADA accommodations. This is a cash only assessment that cannot be billed for insurance purposes as Dr. Holmes is not a HIPAA provider.

​

Dr. Holmes will inform you if one or both each spouse has traits and characteristics that are consistent with others who are autistic/neurodivergent/Asperger’s or ADHD.

​

Dr. Holmes will assess both partners to determine how your differences are contributing to the relationship challenges. Both will be assessed for traits and characteristics consistent with the Autism Spectrum and ADHD. The end result is not a medical diagnosis but informed professional opinion by a Certified Autism Specialist.

 

This evaluation will assess both spouses for:

​

• Traits and characteristics of neurodiversity

• Self-Report and partner observations related to but not limited to executive function, sensory issues, emotional regulation, rigidity, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence

• Personality and Temperament

• How each manages or avoid conflict and stress

 

This evaluation will consist of:

 

• Relational Assessment for Both Spouses Assessed for NeuroDiversity

• A 2-hour interview for each spouse

• A 2-hour interview together concerning your struggles

• A 1.5-hour interaction together discussing what you each perceive are struggles in the relationship

• A 1-hour results discussion

​

Total Cost of Assessment: $1,675.00 (USD)

​

• If assessment is paid in full in one invoice prior to our first meeting, there is a reduced cost of $1,575.00.

• If multiple invoices are required, we are not able to move to the next stage of interviews until the prior invoices are paid. The results will not be scheduled until the assessment is paid in full.

​​

​

​

There is no formal written-up evaluation, as this requires extra time, and the assessment used does not require it. 

​

This is not a full psychological evaluation, which requires a clinical psychologist; this assessment is for neurodiversity only.
