Celebrating Neurodiversity Through Understanding

At Olague Psychological Services, we recognize that autism is a natural and valuable part of human diversity. Whether you or your child are exploring differences in communication, sensory experiences, or social connection, a thoughtful and affirming assessment can provide understanding, clarity, and meaningful insights. Our team specializes in autism evaluations across the lifespan, offering a strengths-based and compassionate approach tailored to the unique experiences of each individual.

We prioritize a person-centered, respectful process that highlights strengths and supports challenges. Our autism evaluations include:

• Initial Consultation: A collaborative discussion to explore your concerns, developmental history, and lived experiences.
• In-Depth Assessment: Utilizing evidence-based tools, clinical observation, and interviews to honor the whole person.
• Individualized Insights and Recommendations: Following the assessment, we provide a clear, strengths-focused report with personalized suggestions for support, accommodations, and opportunities for growth.

You might benefit from an autism evaluation if you or your loved one are navigating:

• Unique ways of engaging in social connections or communication
• A strong preference for routines or specialized interests
• Sensory sensitivities or heightened awareness of sensory input
• A need for support in transitions or adapting to change

We view these characteristics as valuable facets of the autistic experience. An assessment can help you better understand and embrace these differences, offering tools to thrive in environments that may not always be designed with neurodivergent people in mind.

• Neuroaffirming Expertise: Our psychologists are committed to understanding autism through a lens of respect, appreciation, and celebration of neurodiversity.
• Ongoing Support: Beyond the evaluation, we connect individuals and families with resources and strategies to foster growth and well-being.
• Tailored Approach: Every individual is unique, and so is our process. We honor each person’s identity and experiences to create a supportive and affirming journey.

At Olague Psychological Services, our mission is to celebrate neurodiversity while providing the tools and understanding you need to navigate the world with confidence and self-acceptance.
