Developmental Regulation Concern
A careful clinical evaluation provides insight and clarity on developmental regulation concern. Diagnosis and treatment depend on a thorough understanding of your history, biology, and environment. We emphasize an evidence-based approach to finding sustainable relief.
Overview
Some individuals experience difficulty regulating their emotions, behavior, sensory experience, or attention as a result of how their nervous system is organized. This includes Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing differences, and executive function deficits.
How it's diagnosed
Evaluation is comprehensive and multi-informant, including developmental and medical history, multi-informant rating scales, behavioral observation, and neuropsychological testing when appropriate. Medical contributors to dysregulation are ruled out.
Non-medication strategies
Non-medication strategies are the primary foundation of treatment, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, adapted CBT, and executive function coaching.
Medication strategies
Medication does not treat core autism or neurodevelopmental features but may address specific impairing co-occurring symptoms, such as irritability, severe ADHD symptoms, or co-occurring anxiety, with careful risk-benefit consideration.
