Neuro psychologist...the test was several hours. Our son was even given an IQ test (122 very superior). Definately worth the time spent with him and was covered by our health insurance.

I am glad we were referred to a team for a diagnosis. The developmental pediatrician did a neurodevelopment eval, and used the CARS scale and ASDI interview. The psychologist gave her the Standford-Binet, and Vineland. The Speech Therapist gave her the CELF and the PLAI. The Special Ed professional gave the ADOS. Each specialist interviewed us as well. At the end, they met with us and went over the results and recommendations. They spent at least 6 hours with us over several days and the report was very thorough. When we had asked a psychologist to do it, they quoted a higher price than what we ended up paying. It's probably because the Center was subsidized, but I liked the idea that several people gave input.
