Disability Evaluations
Disability evaluations are tailored assessments designed to support individuals with documented developmental disabilities, such as autism or intellectual disabilities, in accessing essential services and benefits. These evaluations are conducted with compassion and precision, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary documentation to navigate complex systems and secure the support they deserve.
Who Can Benefit?

Qualify for services through agencies like the New York Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), or the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) which manages the iBudget program.
Establish eligibility for adult guardianship, providing families and caregivers with legal authority to make decisions in the best interest of their loved ones.
Obtain or maintain Social Security disability benefits (SSI/SSDI), ensuring financial support for daily needs.
What to Expect
The evaluation process involves a thorough review of an individual's history, current functioning, and unique needs. It may include:
Diagnostic testing to confirm or update developmental disability diagnoses.
Functional assessments to determine the level of support required.
Detailed written reports with recommendations tailored to the individual's situation.
