Autism & ADHD Testing
Sachs Center offers fully virtual autism and ADHD evaluations for Fairfield residents, with clinicians licensed in Connecticut — no travel needed for a full evaluation. Because the practice is licensed to serve clients across dozens of states through PSYPACT, the same evaluation is available across the surrounding area — without needing to take a day off work or arrange childcare for an in-person appointment.
Families seeking in-person care often turn to New Haven or the Connecticut Children's Specialty Care Center in Fairfield. A Yale Child Study Center psychiatrist told the Connecticut Mirror that behavioral health waitlists in the state stretch to roughly six months. Sachs Center's model removes that wait, with same-day results. For a family already juggling school schedules and work, avoiding a months-long wait for an initial appointment, let alone the additional time it can take to receive a written report afterward, is often the deciding factor in choosing a virtual evaluation instead.
IEP or Section 504 referrals go through Fairfield Public Schools' Special Education and Student Services department. College students can request accommodations through Fairfield University's Office of Accessibility or Sacred Heart University's Office of Student Accessibility. Sachs Center's diagnostic reports are formatted to include the clinical detail these offices typically require, so families and students generally do not need to request revisions or additional documentation before an accommodation request can move forward.1
Most residents here carry insurance through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, ConnectiCare, or Aetna. Sachs Center is an out-of-network provider, so payment is due at the time of booking, but every evaluation comes with a superbill listing the correct diagnostic codes for submission to these plans. Reimbursement varies by plan, but many PPO plans in the area reimburse a meaningful portion of the cost once the superbill is submitted.

ADHD & Autism Testing
Accurate virtual child autism testing from licensed psychologists who specialize in neurodivergence
Built from the ground up in 2010 for neurodivergent children and adults — including high-masking women and BIPOC individuals others routinely overlook. Our clinicians have decades of combined experience working exclusively with neurodivergent populations, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Traditional assessments often include $3,500 worth of unnecessary IQ testing. We provide the answers you need for $790, not $3,500. No hidden fees, no surprise bills — just honest, straightforward pricing so you can focus on getting answers instead of worrying about costs.
Over half of our clients were previously mislabeled with Anxiety, Bipolar, or "Borderline" traits. We identify the neurodivergent root cause others miss. Our specialized protocol cuts through diagnostic noise to give you clarity and a path forward you can trust.
Not a 6-week wait on a corporate platform. A single, focused session with a PhD psychologist from your safe space — results the same day. No commute, no sterile office, just a comfortable conversation from wherever you feel most at ease.
Most online platforms only evaluate adults. If you're a parent wondering why your child is struggling — at school, socially, or at home — we can help. We evaluate children as young as 4 and teens navigating school, friendships, and identity. You'll get clear answers and a personalized roadmap so you know exactly how to support your child.

If you live in Fairfield, CT and are looking for professional autism or ADHD testing, Sachs Center provides comprehensive virtual evaluations with licensed psychologists. Our secure video-based evaluations allow you to complete the testing process from the comfort of your home without traveling to an office.
We work with children, teens, and adults who are seeking clarity around ADHD, autism, or AuDHD. Whether you have been experiencing challenges with attention, executive functioning, communication, sensory experiences, relationships, school, or work, a comprehensive evaluation can help provide a clearer understanding of your individual needs.
For Fairfield residents, virtual testing offers convenient access to specialized neuro-informed care while avoiding the time and travel involved with traditional in-person testing.
At the Sachs Center, our psychologists are experts in working with high-masking adults, especially women and BIPOC adults who may mask to a greater extent than men or non-target groups. We also only work with neurodivergent populations so we have become expert in
At the Sachs Center, we offer two testing options. The 2-hour Diagnostic Testing which focuses specifically on a diagnosis of ADHD and/or Autism and screens for anxiety and depression, and provides same-day results with a diagnosis letter for medication referral or workplace accommodations. You can add a report to this for $400. The 5 page report adds more in depth information about yourself and can be used for accommodations in a university or to seek disability.
The second type of testing is our 8-hour neuropsychological evaluation. This is more comprehensive, includes cognitive testing (IQ), academic testing, memory, and emotional assessments. It’s typically ONLY required for standardized test accommodations (SAT, LSAT, MCAT) or university support.
Other doctors are still doing full neuropsychological evaluations to determine a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD. They are doing testing that is not needed for diagnostic testing in adults, like an IQ test, memory testing, or testing to determine your academic levels. These tests are only needed for children and those seeking accommodations in standardized tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT etc. In many ways, we consider this overcharging unfair and egregious business practices.
Yes. At the Sachs Center, you receive your diagnosis at the conclusion of your evaluation session — not days or weeks later. Your psychologist walks you through the findings and next steps in the same appointment, and you leave with your diagnostic letter the same day.
Yes, telehealth diagnostic testing conducted by the Sachs Center’s licensed psychologists is just as accurate as in-person testing. We conduct evaluations via Zoom or Google Meet using evidence-based self-report tests and comprehensive clinical interviews. This is different from simple online quizzes, which are not diagnostic tools.
At the Sachs Center, the assessment includes four main steps: (1) A 30-minute clinical interview with your psychologist discussing your current challenges, childhood experiences, work history, and family dynamics; (2) Review of symptoms to assess if you meet diagnostic criteria; (3) Evidence-based self-report questionnaires assessing symptoms (4) Discussion of findings and diagnosis with your Sachs Center clinician, along with personalized treatment recommendations.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by life, facing consistent problems at work or home and in relationships, you may benefit from testing. The Sachs Center specializes in helping adults understand whether Autism or ADHD is causing their daily challenges. ADHD and Autism each affects approximately 5% of adults in the US and can impact your job, personal relationships, and daily functioning.
While a family doctor might spend 10 minutes asking symptom questions, the Sachs Center provides a comprehensive psychological evaluation that gives you certainty. Our psychologists are specifically trained in testing mental health challenges and use evidence-based diagnostic tools. This thorough approach helps you know with confidence whether you have Autism, ADHD or both, avoiding years of frustration, incorrect medication, or missed diagnoses.
Yes, at the Sachs Center our ADHD testing screens for anxiety and depression, as these conditions often overlap with or mimic Autism and ADHD symptoms. We also consider other factors like mood disorders and medical conditions that can present similarly to Autism or ADHD, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
While not required at the Sachs Center, it can be helpful to have partners, family, or friends provide input through questionnaires. This additional perspective can help paint a more complete picture of your symptoms and challenges, especially since adults with Autims or ADHD often learn to mask their symptoms over time. Our psychologists will guide you on whether this would be beneficial for your specific situation.
Absolutely! After your assessment at the Sachs Center, you’ll receive a diagnosis letter that can be used to obtain workplace accommodations. Our 2-hour Diagnostic Testing includes workplace accommodation support and provides all the documentation you need to request accommodations from your employer.
At the Sachs Center, treatment for ADHD is multimodal and tailored to your needs. Options include psychoeducation, individual therapy, medication (if necessary), and holistic support strategies. Your Sachs Center clinician will discuss these options with you during your diagnosis discussion and create a personalized treatment plan to help you manage your ADHD effectively.
Our streamlined 2-hour process focuses strictly on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria using a targeted clinical interview, behavioral observations, and standardized rating scales. Virtual ADHD evaluations have a 94.9% positive predictive value, and telehealth autism diagnoses are 80–91% as accurate as in-person assessments. The 8-hour battery is only necessary if you need accommodations for high-stakes standardized tests like the SAT, LSAT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, or Bar Exam.
No. Sachs Center is an out-of-network provider and does not accept any insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. Payment is due in full at the time of booking. You'll receive a superbill with diagnostic codes (90791-95, 96136-95, 96130-95, 96146-95) to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted as long as they carry a Visa or Mastercard logo.
Combined ADHD + Autism evaluation: $890 — includes the 2-hour assessment and your Diagnostic Letter. Full Diagnostic Report (add-on): $400 — a 5–10 page clinical document with a Functional Impairment section, typically required for university accommodations and disability claims. External PDF form completion: $290 — requires a separate appointment with Dr. Sachs. We do not offer payment plans, sliding scales, or scholarships.
The Diagnostic Letter is included automatically with every evaluation. It's sufficient for starting medication, basic workplace accommodations, and most K-12 504 plans. The Full Diagnostic Report ($400 add-on) is a 5–10 page document that includes your history, test scores, and a Functional Impairment section. You'll typically need this for university accommodations, disability claims, and high-stakes testing boards.
Yes. Approximately 30% of our clients identify as BIPOC or Trans/Non-Binary, and 95% of our clinical staff are women. All of our clinicians — including Dr. Sachs and Dr. Krauss — are trained in recognizing high-masking presentations and the specific ways neurodivergence shows up in adult women, people of color, and those who don't fit the hyperactive stereotype. You can't request a specific psychologist, but every clinician on our team has this expertise.
Yes. We evaluate children starting at age 3. Children younger than 3 typically require an in-person ADOS assessment, which we do not offer. For children, we use a suite of evidence-based tools including the SRS-2 (critical for identifying masking in girls), ASRS, SCQ (developmental history), and BASC-3 (differential diagnosis between autism and emotional/behavioral concerns). Dr. Sachs has particular expertise with neurodiverse children who present as gifted or hyperlexic
Yes. Combined AuDHD testing is our standard offering — $890 for the evaluation, with the option to add the full Diagnostic Report for $400. We use the ADOS as part of our autism diagnostic battery. Our clinicians are also experienced in identifying Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profiles. While PDA isn't a standalone DSM-5 diagnosis, we'll address it in your report with a detailed narrative — describing how demand avoidance manifests for you, differentiating it from ODD, and offering tailored recommendations like low-demand environments and indirect language strategies.
The 8-hour neuropsychological battery is only necessary in a few specific cases: — You need extra-time accommodations on a high-stakes standardized test (SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, Bar Exam) and the testing board specifically requires a paper-and-pencil battery. — You suspect a co-occurring learning disability like dyslexia. — You have a history of complex brain trauma or a question of TBI/dementia is in play. For everything else — personal clarity, therapy, medication, workplace accommodations, university accommodations, and most disability claims — our 2-hour evaluation (plus the Diagnostic Report add-on where needed) is clinically sufficient. Our 8-hour neuropsych testing is conducted in person at our New York office.
Yes. Our virtual evaluation process allows Fairfield residents to complete their appointments securely from home without needing to travel to an office. Our clinicians are trained to differentiate neurodivergence from overlapping conditions like CPTSD, generalized anxiety, depression, OCD, and personality disorders — and to identify when several are present at once. We'll note which DSM-5 criteria you meet, which symptoms overlap, and what's better explained by something else.
No. If you were diagnosed in the 90s or early 2000s, your session will feel much more like a reassessment of your current cognitive health than a search for a label. We're not interested in just reconfirming what you were told decades ago. The real question is: "How is your brain handling the executive demands of your life today?" ADHD and autism symptoms shift as we age — task paralysis, sensory overload, burnout, and intrusive thoughts often look very different at 40 than they did at 15. Your old diagnosis is a useful data point, but our goal is to give you a "user manual" for your brain as it exists now, with current recommendations that map to your real life.
Yes. We offer several post-diagnosis services: Neuro-affirming individual therapy — for adults navigating late diagnosis, burnout, sensory overload, communication challenges, and emotional regulation. Our therapists understand the complex profile of adult neurodivergence rather than treating it as a deficit. Executive function coaching — for high school and college students working on planning, organization, time management, and follow-through. Provided by Jane Milrod. Dragon Masters social skills group — a specialized therapeutic group that uses Minecraft as the social environment for kids working on connection and communication.
No — Sachs Center is a diagnostic facility, not a prescribing one. We don't provide medication management directly. However, your Diagnostic Letter is fully sufficient for any psychiatrist or primary care physician to begin medication management. Many of our clients take the letter directly to their existing PCP and start treatment within weeks. If you don't have a prescriber, we can recommend a clinical partner who handles medication management remotely.
For our standard 2-hour ADHD and Autism evaluations, no — we don't offer free pre-booking consultations. The 2-hour evaluation is designed to be the first appointment, and the chatbot above can answer most questions you'd typically ask in a consult. We do offer a 15-minute consultation in two specific cases: if you're considering the in-person 8-hour neuropsychological evaluation, or if you're interested in pursuing therapy with Dr. Sachs directly.
