Our Aspergers Clinic offers a range of services:

Assessment: Dr. Montgomery is a licensed psychologist with a wealth of differential diagnostic experience who has taught psychological assessment and evaluation courses at several universities to doctoral candidates. Our evaluations are comprehensive and focus on both diagnostic clarity and solid and practical recommendations to assist in improving the life of the person immediately.

Individual Therapy: Occasionally people with AS, like everyone else, encounter problems that exceed their current skills and resources. Traditional psychotherapy that focuses on emotional processing, early life experiences, and other "touchy-feely" methods of doing therapy have consistently failed to help people with AS. Again, as with our Group Therapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy is the best supported and most efficient method for working on problems with people with AS. Drs. Montgomery are each Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Certified Cognitive Therapists. This unique combination of training is ideally suited to assisting AS people.

Social Skills Groups: Our clinic offers group therapy focusing on several issues for AS patients. In addition to a social skills group solely for AS people, we offer both Anxiety and Anger group therapy for people with Aspergers Syndrome. These specialty groups are conducted using Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, which has nearly all the research support available for use with people with AS.

Tutorials: Our staff have unique qualifications for working with students with Aspergers Syndrome. Each of our tutors has training beyond their original training as a teacher. We support our tutors in a variety of areas related to Aspergers and social skills that gives them an advantage in working with your child. Students with Aspergers Syndrome often have difficulties in one or more academic areas that extend beyond merely social issues or a manifestation of their Aspergers "quirkiness". When there is an issue with an academic area we can provide tutoring by trained teachers to support your child's progress in school.

Workshops: We have conducted workshops at our clinic for professionals, parents, and school staff since we opened our clinic. In addition, we have offered our workshops on Aspergers to school and agency staff by traveling to their agencies over the years and continue to offer this option for training. Our workshops focus on the unique presentation of AS, diagnostic issues, developmental concerns, and research supported effective treatments for various issues commonly presented by people with AS.

If we can be of any assistance in any way please contact us at your convenience.
