Eating, ASD & ADHD Screening
Do you wonder if your relationship with food is really a problem?
Would you like to find out if you are autistic or an ADHDer?
​
If you're curious, take a few screening tests and bring the results to us for a free consult.
But remember, we care about YOU more than a test result. Still, this can be a way to start our conversation.​
​
With that said, please be aware that these screening tests:
-
are limited in depth and scope,
-
may limit the amount that you learn about yourself,
-
fall short of a in-depth assessment (which we can offer), and
-
are never a replacement for the care of a caring and well-trained clinician.

Sensory Screenings
When your brain is impacted by sensory processing issues, the brain is unable to arrange and correctly process information from your senses. It feels like a traffic jam inside your head.
​
Typically, our mind processes all the information about our environment. After our brain processes the inputs, it allows us to respond in productive way
​
If you feel like you're struggling with the sensory traffic jam in your head, let us help.
​
Our clinicians would be glad to administer the Sensory Process Measure (SPM-2), a formal assessment tool. You can read more about it at this link.
