Comprehensive Developmental and Behavioral Assessments

At Calm Gardens Therapy, we proudly offer specialized assessment packages for:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (available for ages 8 and up)
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Learning Disabilities
• Intellectual Disabilities

These comprehensive evaluations are designed to clarify developmental, behavioral, and learning concerns, helping individuals and families better understand their unique strengths and support needs. Our Clinical Director, Leah Gardner, has advanced training in evidence-based assessment tools, offering evaluations tailored to the client’s developmental stage and presenting concerns.

🧠 Assessments for Children, Teens, and Adults
ASD assessments are available for individuals ages 8 and up. For adult clients, we currently offer autism evaluations without cognitive testing, when intellectual concerns are not the primary focus. 

ADHD, learning, and intellectual disability assessments are available for most age groups, with testing tools selected based on developmental appropriateness and clinical need.

👩‍⚕️ Specialized and Compassionate Providers
Our team includes clinicians trained in autism, ADHD, and learning assessments. Leah Gardner leads our ASD evaluations and brings both expertise and warmth to the process.

📊 Evidence-Based & Individualized
Each package includes validated tools, structured interviews, and—when necessary—optional cognitive testing (e.g., WISC-V). At this time, cognitive testing is only available for clients under 18.

💖 Client-Centered Care
We create a comfortable, respectful environment and structure assessments around the client’s needs. Most evaluations are conducted one-on-one with the client for a private and focused experience.

1. Initial Interview – We gather history and presenting concerns from the client or parent/guardian.
2. Testing Session(s) – A structured battery of assessments is administered in-office.
3. Scoring & Interpretation – The clinician reviews all results, integrates findings, and prepares a personalized report.
4. Feedback Session – We review results, answer questions, and provide a copy of the final report.

Note: Reports will not be released until the account is paid in full.

• A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of scheduling.
• A final deposit is due before the feedback session to cover the provider's report writing time.
• We do bill insurance for many components of the assessment. However, clients are financially responsible for any portion not covered, including scoring, interpretation, or proprietary tools.
• All clients must have a credit card on file to secure appointments. This is required for all clients, including Medicaid recipients who request an assessment.

  💡 Financial Support Available:
Some families may be eligible for financial assistance for autism assessments through Nevada’s Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP).

We are actively working toward expanding our testing capabilities to include full cognitive assessments for adults, allowing us to broaden services for adult ASD and learning evaluations in the near future.

While Calm Gardens Therapy will bill your insurance for applicable assessment services, coverage is not guaranteed. Most insurance plans only reimburse for services deemed medically necessary. However, we do not determine what qualifies as medical necessity—this decision is made solely by your insurance provider.

It is your responsibility to verify your insurance benefits and understand your plan's requirements and limitations for psychological or neurodevelopmental assessments. You may be responsible for all or part of the assessment costs if your insurance denies coverage, applies the balance to a deductible, or limits reimbursement.
