Online ADHD & Autism Evaluations for Georgia Adults
Virtual ADHD and Autism Evaluations for Georgia Residents
Looking for an online ADHD evaluation, online autism (ASD) assessment, or comprehensive psychological evaluation in Georgia? I can help. I'm Dr. Ben Dickstein, PhD, a clinical psychologist (Ohio License #7277) authorized by the PSYPACT Commission (APIT #13712) to provide telepsychology services to Georgia residents. I specialize in adult evaluations, and through PSYPACT I can see clients anywhere in Georgia — from metro Atlanta and the OTP suburbs (Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Lawrenceville, Johns Creek), out to Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Albany, and the rural communities in between.
Why a Virtual Evaluation from Georgia?
Metro Atlanta has a sizable mental health provider network, but the supply of clinicians who specialize in adult ADHD and autism evaluations does not match demand — waits of four to eight months at established evaluation centers are common. Outside the I-285 perimeter and the smaller cities, specialist coverage thins out significantly. Rural North Georgia, the South Georgia coastal plain, and the Wiregrass region often require a multi-hour drive to find a clinician trained in current best-practice adult evaluation. An online evaluation removes both the drive and the waitlist constraint.
Scheduling Across Time Zones
Telehealth law. Georgia codified telehealth practice standards through Code § 33-24-56.4 and the Georgia Composite Medical Board's telemedicine rules, with parity requirements for behavioral health services. Georgia joined PSYPACT in 2019, making it one of the early-wave participating states. PSYPACT participation lets me, an Ohio-licensed psychologist with the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT #13712), see Georgia residents legally and ethically via secure telehealth video.
Accommodations. My reports are written to meet standard ADA documentation requirements — diagnostic codes, functional impact statements, and accommodation-specific recommendations. Major Georgia employers (Delta Air Lines, Home Depot, UPS, Coca-Cola, Georgia-Pacific, Cox Enterprises, Chick-fil-A, Emory University, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among others) routinely review this kind of documentation from licensed psychologists when clients request workplace accommodations.
Georgia-Specific Things to Know
All of Georgia observes Eastern Time — the same as my Cincinnati office. My weekday morning, lunchtime, and late-afternoon slots work well for Georgia working-hour schedules.
What I Offer
Online ADHD Assessment. A thorough evaluation following current best-practice guidelines for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. This includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized rating scales, collateral reports from people who know you well, and screening for conditions that commonly co-occur with or mimic ADHD. You'll receive a detailed written report with your results, diagnostic conclusions, and individualized treatment recommendations.
Online ASD Assessment. A comprehensive autism spectrum disorder evaluation that includes a developmental and personal history, validated ASD-specific measures, collateral information, and assessment of co-occurring concerns. Online ASD testing follows the same clinical standards as an in-person evaluation. Many adults have suspected for years that they might be on the spectrum but haven't known where to turn. If that's you, I'd encourage you to reach out.
Comprehensive Telehealth Evaluation. For situations where the diagnostic picture is complex or unclear. This includes everything in the ADHD and ASD evaluations plus an objective personality measure that provides detailed information about a wider array of mental health symptoms, personality features, and personal strengths. If you or your provider want a complete picture, this is the way to go.
Combined Evaluations. I also offer combined ADHD and ASD evaluations, as well as comprehensive assessments that include ADHD and/or ASD testing. These are helpful when more than one condition may be in play.
Current Pricing. Pricing for these assessments is provided on the following page of my website.
How It Works
Before the evaluation, you'll receive intake paperwork and rating scales to complete ahead of time. People who know you well (a partner, parent, or close friend) will be sent their own forms.
During the evaluation, we'll meet via secure video for a detailed clinical interview. Depending on the type of assessment, this typically takes one to two sessions.
After the evaluation, you'll receive a detailed written report with your results, diagnosis (when warranted), and specific treatment recommendations. Letters of support for accommodations are provided as needed. I'm also happy to coordinate with your providers in Georgia to ensure continuity of care.
For Georgia Providers Considering a Referral
If you're a therapist, psychiatrist, or physician in Georgia and you have a client or patient who needs an ADHD evaluation, autism assessment, or comprehensive diagnostic workup, I welcome referrals. My reports are detailed (typically 12+ pages for ADHD evaluations), include specific and actionable treatment recommendations, and are designed to be useful to the providers who will continue working with the individual. I'm also available for consultation before or after an evaluation.
