Evaluations may examine areas such as:

Evaluation of learning and academic skills when there are concerns involving:
- Reading
- Writing

IQ & Cognitive Testing
Assessment of intellectual and cognitive abilities to better understand strengths, weaknesses, and learning patterns.
Independent Educational Evaluations

qEEG Brain Mapping
When clinically appropriate, ARC may recommend a 19-channel quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain map to better understand patterns of brainwave activity and support treatment planning.
qEEG is an adjunctive clinical tool and is not used by itself to diagnose Autism, ADHD, or another mental health condition.

- Individual therapy
- Child and teen therapy

For Referring Professionals
We Value Collaborative Care
ARC works alongside physicians, therapists, schools, and other professionals to help provide a more complete understanding of the individuals they serve.
With appropriate authorization, ARC can collaborate with referring and treating professionals to support continuity of care.
Our goal is not to replace a trusted provider.
Our goal is to provide additional clarity that can help make existing care more informed, personalized, and effective.
What Information Should I Send?
If available, helpful information may include:
- Reason for referral
- Current concerns
- Diagnostic questions
- Previous diagnoses

Do not worry if you do not have all of these records. You can still submit a referral.
Our team will help determine what information may be needed.
FAQs
Do I need a diagnosis before referring someone to ARC?
Many people are referred specifically because the diagnosis is unclear or because symptoms overlap across multiple conditions.
Can parents refer their own child?
Parents and caregivers may contact ARC directly without a professional referral.
Can adults refer themselves?
Adults may contact ARC directly for assessment, diagnostic clarification, or treatment services.
What ages does ARC serve?
What if I am not sure which evaluation is needed?
Submit the referral and describe the concerns. Our team can help determine the most appropriate next step.
Can ARC work with the client's current therapist or physician?
With appropriate authorization, ARC can collaborate with current providers and share relevant findings to support continuity of care.
Does everyone who comes to ARC receive qEEG brain mapping?
qEEG is recommended only when clinically appropriate and is used as an additional source of information rather than a standalone diagnostic test.
What if the client has already been evaluated somewhere else?
An updated evaluation, second opinion, or additional testing may be appropriate when questions remain unanswered, functioning has changed, or the previous evaluation does not fully address current concerns.
