What Is Diagnostic Testing?

Diagnostic testing is a structured, evidence-based process that evaluates cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and developmental functioning. It can help identify or rule out:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • ADHD—Executive functioning or attention challenges

  • Learning Disabilities (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia)

  • Intellectual Disabilities

  • Emotional or behavioral concerns

  • Impact of trauma
  • Personality traits and development

Testing may involve standardized assessments, observations, interviews, rating forms, and a thorough review of your history and concerns.

Why Testing Matters

Without a clear picture, it’s easy to misinterpret behaviors or needs—especially in neurodivergent individuals. A proper diagnosis can open doors to support services, accommodations, school interventions, and therapeutic strategies that truly work.

Dr. Stai’s testing process is neurodiversity-affirming, culturally sensitive, and centered on the whole person—not just test scores.

What to Expect

Testing with Dr. Stai includes:

  • A collaborative intake session

  • Individually tailored testing sessions

  • In-depth analysis of results and patterns

  • A comprehensive, easy-to-understand report

  • A one-on-one feedback session with personalized recommendations

We take the time to make sure you understand what the results mean and how to move forward with confidence.

Clarity Is Empowering

A diagnosis doesn’t define you—it equips you. When you understand how your brain works, you can advocate for what you need, access meaningful support, and build self-understanding without shame.
