Comprehensive Evaluation for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong condition that affects brain development, behavior, and daily functioning. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for accessing appropriate interventions and support. Our neuropsychological testing for FASD provides a thorough assessment of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning to guide treatment planning and accommodations.
What is FASD?
FASD is an umbrella term for a range of conditions caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Individuals with FASD may experience challenges with:
- Executive functioning (planning, organization, impulse control)
- Learning and memory
- Attention and focus
- Social communication
- Emotional regulation
- Adaptive skills for daily life
Since FASD often overlaps with other neurodevelopmental disorders, comprehensive testing is crucial for distinguishing it from conditions like ADHD, autism, or learning disabilities.
Our Neuropsychological Testing Process
We use evidence-based assessment tools to evaluate the cognitive and behavioral profile associated with FASD. Our process includes:
- Clinical Interview – Gathering developmental, medical, and educational history
- Standardized Testing – Assessing intelligence, memory, executive functioning, attention, language, motor skills, and social cognition
- Behavioral and Emotional Assessment – Evaluating mood, self-regulation, and adaptive behavior
- Comprehensive Report – Providing a detailed analysis, diagnostic impressions, and individualized recommendations
- Feedback Session – Discussing results and next steps for interventions, accommodations, and support
