Autism evaluations in Ann Arbor, in person

Cimone Safilian, LLP, provides autism evaluations for children ages 6 and up, teens and adults at our Ann Arbor office. Autism evaluations are in person only. They are not offered by telehealth.

Evaluations wrap up with a clear next-step conversation, not just a score.

How an evaluation works

  1. A quick first call. After a referral or your own call, we start with a short phone consultation, about 15 minutes, to make sure we're the right fit.
  2. Getting to know you. A clinical interview of about 45 to 90 minutes covers current symptoms along with family, school, medical and psychological history.
  3. Testing. Standardized measures, which may include cognitive tests, rating scales and questionnaires.
  4. Putting it together. We score the results and combine them with records and input from teachers and family.
  5. Feedback and report. A feedback session with the parent or client, plus a written report with recommendations.

Start to finish usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how complex the evaluation is and other factors.
