Understanding Virtual Evaluations

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual psychological evaluations have emerged as a game-changer, offering a convenient alternative to traditional in-person assessments. In the realm of Autism and ADHD evaluations, this digital approach proves invaluable. Through secure online platforms, our team of experienced psychologists can transcend geographical barriers, and bring our unique evaluation model to individuals and families outside of Georgia.

But do virtual evaluations maintain the same level of accuracy as their in-person counterparts? Absolutely. Numerous studies have shown that virtual assessments for Autism and ADHD can produce results comparable to face-to-face evaluations. Our psychologists utilize standardized testing tools and observation techniques tailored for online platforms, ensuring the validity and reliability of the outcomes.

The beauty of virtual evaluations lies in their flexibility so parents, guardians, and individuals themselves can participate from the comfort of their own homes and still receive quality testing and evaluation.

How are Virtual Evaluations Structured?

We have created a seamless process to make you feel at ease every step of the way. Here’s what that looks like:

Virtual Intake Appointment: We begin with a virtual intake appointment where you meet with one of our experienced psychologists to understand your concerns, gather relevant history, and discuss any specific areas of focus. We also take time to walk you through the entire evaluation process from start to finish, answer questions, and prepare you for the next step.
Virtual Testing Sessions: The heart of the evaluation process involves 1-2 virtual testing sessions. Through carefully selected tools, exercises, and collateral input, our psychologists will assess several areas including but not limited to cognitive abilities, social skills, and emotional/behavioral patterns. The virtual format follows best practices for telepsychology, ensuring that the evaluation results are as standardized and accurate as possible despite the adapted structure.
Feedback/Results Meeting: Once the testing sessions are complete, we schedule a virtual results meeting to discuss the findings. During this session, our psychologists will provide a comprehensive overview of the assessment outcomes, discuss potential diagnoses, and explore recommendations for support and intervention.

Special Considerations for Virtual Evaluations

Engaging in a virtual evaluation for Autism and ADHD comes with its own set of considerations to ensure a smooth and effective process. Potential clients should be aware of the following aspects when opting for a virtual evaluation:

Technical Requirements:
- Clients need access to a reliable and secure internet connection.
- A device with a camera and microphone, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone, is necessary for video conferencing.
- Clients should have a backup plan in case of technical difficulties, which can be discussed with your psychologist before or during the evaluation.
Time Zones
- All of our appointment times are offered in the Eastern Standard Time Zone so interested clients would need to convert the appointment times to their time zone so they don’t miss it!
Privacy and Confidentiality:
- Choose a quiet and private space for the evaluation to maintain confidentiality.
- Inform all household members about the importance of privacy during the sessions.
- Be sure to avoid driving during a virtual evaluation, as it is a safety risk and could also compromise assessment results.
Preparation for Testing Sessions:
- Clients may be asked to prepare certain materials, create a conducive environment for testing, especially if the evaluation involves younger individuals, or send video observations as part of the evaluation.
Insurance Reimbursement:
- Insurance reimbursement for out-of-state evaluations may be challenging, and there is no guarantee of reimbursement.
- We strive to make the process as smooth as possible by providing the necessary documentation to support your reimbursement requests.
- It’s important when seeking a virtual evaluation to call your insurance and ask about your benefits for out of network services and mention that your evaluation is virtual with an out-of-state provider.
