Developmental History Review
Current Goals & Challenges
Referral & Testing Guidance
A meticulous exploration of childhood milestones, early academic trajectories, sensory adaptations, and masked behaviors that often obscure neurodevelopmental presentations in high-functioning adulthood.
Targeted discussion addressing workplace executive functioning, interpersonal communication friction, sensory exhaustion, and the emotional impact of operating without diagnostic confirmation.
Objective recommendations outlining whether comprehensive neuropsychological testing, psychiatric consultation, or specialized behavioral coaching is clinically warranted for your circumstances.
The Consultation Process & Preparation
Gather Records & Observations
Comprehensive Clinical Interview
Synthesis & Actionable Next Steps
Before your session, compile relevant historical artifacts: prior academic records, previous psychoeducational testing, sensory checklists, and brief notes describing specific situations where developmental differences arise.
Engage in an in-depth clinical interview with Dr. Michelle Rad, examining your developmental timeline, compensatory strategies, family patterns, and functional strengths in a confidential setting.
Receive tailored clinical feedback outlining diagnostic likelihoods, educational or workplace accommodation considerations, self-advocacy strategies, or specific referrals for multi-disciplinary evaluation.


Northern Virginia & Telehealth Care
Dr. Rad provides in-person consultations in Northern Virginia and confidential telepsychology across participating PsyPact states. Telehealth offers accessible, sensory-friendly care from your own home, eliminating travel stress while maintaining strict HIPAA-compliant privacy safeguards.
While clinical interviews and developmental reviews adapt effectively to secure video, not every presentation is suitable for remote consultation. When complex neurological factors, severe co-occurring conditions, or standardized hands-on testing are required, an in-person or specialized clinic referral will be recommended.
Gain clarity and structured guidance in a respectful, strictly confidential environment. In-person Northern Virginia visits and telehealth sessions available by appointment.
