Loudoun County Asperger’s Disorder Support Easy Street LLC

We hope you are able to attend Easy Street’s upcoming wine and cheese fundraiser! Easy Street, LLC is a non-profit organization based in Loudoun County that supports young adults with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Disorder and their families. Navigating the important aspects of life after high school can be a very real challenge for individuals with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Disorder, so let Easy Street help you pave the way.

Dr. Allison Jack of GW’s Autism Institute will be the evening’s guest speaker and Dr. Michael Oberschneider, Easy Street’s chief mental health advisor, will also be on hand. Of course, Ms. Pam Ruddy, Easy Street’s Founder and Director will be hosting the event. Without Pam’s hard work and dedication to supporting individuals with Asperger’s Disorder, none of this would’ve been possible!

The event is free, and we invite you to donate to this wonderful, and very needed, organization in support of young adults with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Disorder in our area.

Developmental Testing Northern Virginia

CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENTAL TESTING

Developmental testing examines and analyzes what an infant or toddler can and cannot do using a standardized set of questions, procedures and methods. The results of these inquiries can be quantified. This information helps parents and clinicians understand how a child compares to a population of children who are developing normally and points to developmental domains that need intervention.

As children develop, some may demonstrate social, communication and problem solving skills at a slower or inconsistent rate, which in turn, impedes their development. Developmental testing will serve to identify if a child is experiencing within normal range weaknesses or more pervasive deficits/impairment (e.g. Autism or Asperger’s Disorder). Sensory Processing Disorder, Hyperlexia and other pervasive developmental delays or conditions are identified through developmental testing.

Ashburn Psychological Services developmental testing assesses language, social skills, motor skills, attachment, memory, sense of self and family dynamics. Parents are given a “map” that helps them understand their child’s unique temperament, developmental strengths and needs, sensory responsiveness, and preferred ways of playing and interacting. This tool helps parents to read and understand their child’s non-verbal signals and to respond appropriately. Early detection of delays or inconsistencies in development can help set-up the proper care and treatment to put children on the right path.

Summer is an ideal time to assess and test your child.  To schedule a consultation, we invite you to contact our office manager, Christine Kutt, at (703) 723-2999 or info@ashburnpsych.com.  We also invite you to visit us at http://www.ashburnpsych.com to learn more about our team and services.
