Autism is a developmental disorder that encompasses a wide spectrum of abilities and disabilities. While each person with autism has their own strengths and weaknesses, everyone diagnosed with autism has three core problems:
These core problems interfere with your child’s development, learning, and success in school, at home, and in the community.
Signs of communication or socialization problems include:
Signs of repetitive and restrictive behaviors include:
Many children with autism also have an acute sensitivity to light, odors, temperature, and sounds.
An early and accurate diagnosis allows children with autism to receive the individualized supports and interventions they need at school and home. The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic offers a variety of assessments, including:
Within the four main categories of testing, your provider at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic chooses from many possible standardized tests and questionnaires, depending on the needs of your child. Your provider doesn’t rely solely on tests; they spend time observing and interacting with your child.
On average, the clinicians at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic spend 14-16 hours of in-person time during comprehensive assessments. That may sound extreme, but it’s essential. Taking extra time is the only way to gain true insight and obtain a holistic picture of your child and to be sure your clinician rules out or identifies other problems associated with autism.
After your comprehensive evaluation, you’ll receive a thorough report with individualized recommendations for interventions at school, home, and in the clinic. The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic develops a customized treatment plan that builds on each child’s strengths and supports areas of weakness.
They provide many types of therapies for children, teens, and adults with autism, including:
The clinicians at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic are known for their special ability to connect with children and build relationships that are supportive and collaborative.
If you’re worried about your child’s development, call Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic today.

I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Cancy Han2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏 Pete Curley2023-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.

Rachael Little2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed. H S2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you! Greta Kim2022-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All 5 members of my family have been served by Abbey Clinic - it's that good. We started with one kid as a test, and then continued on through the whole family because the experience with the first was so great. The report and insights given from the testing of my 3 kids has been hugely beneficial to their school and social lives. My daughter did brain training to help with her ADHD. We saw noticeable improvement. The same teenage daughter has made wonderful progress with her anxiety by meeting with Dr. Stephanie Abbey for psychotherapy. Personally, I met with Rachael for psychotherapy to help with my Autism. It was the kind of thing where I knew I needed to do it, and my wife encouraged me, but I wasn't very excited and definitely a little nervous about embarking into psychotherapy. Now looking back, I am THRILLED with the outcome. Rachael equipped me with frameworks and tools to make my life (and those around me) SOO much better. Our family is incredibly grateful for our interactions with Abbey Clinic. Strongly recommend! Stefan Lusvardi2022-05-26
