Assessments at VATN
“Our assessment work at VATN is about more than scores and checkboxes—it’s about listening closely to each person’s story and turning complex information into something useful and hopeful. We look at strengths, challenges, environments, and values together so families and teams walk away not just with a report, but with a clearer path forward. A good assessment should leave people feeling seen, understood, and better equipped to make decisions that fit their real lives.”

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)
Our ADOS-2 assessments use a standardized, play- and conversation-based protocol to observe social communication and restricted/repetitive behaviors, providing structured information that can support diagnostic decision-making by qualified medical or psychological providers.
