Diagnostic Autism & ADHD Assessments across the lifespan by Dr. Dotti Howe, PsyD, LMHC-D, RPT™, EMDR-C™, C-NDAAP in NY, FL, DE, SC, VT, MA, CT, AL

I provide comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities to help families better understand how their child learns, thinks, and experiences the world. My assessments highlight each child’s strengths while identifying areas where additional support may be helpful. Using a collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming approach, I work closely with caregivers to make sense of attention, learning, behavior, and emotional needs, and to guide practical supports and accommodations at home and in school.

My work is grounded in the neurobiology of attachment, the understanding that children grow, learn, and regulate best within safe and supportive relationships. In addition to assessment, I am an EMDR play therapist, integrating play-based and evidence-informed approaches to help children process difficult experiences, build regulation skills, and strengthen resilience through connection, safety, and trust.
