When everyone knows something is wrong, but no one can explain it.
Comprehensive speech-language and communication evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults with complex communication profiles, including executive functioning, ADHD, autism, and overlapping neurodevelopmental presentations that previous testing has not fully explained.
WHY BASG IS DIFFERENT
Every evaluation begins with the unanswered questions—not a predetermined testing protocol.
Standardized testing is one part of the picture. Each BASG evaluation begins with the questions still unanswered, integrating formal assessment with clinical observation, interviews, language analysis, executive functioning, and real-world communication.
WHEN NOTHING QUITE FITS
When the pieces don’t fit together, the whole picture matters.
School looks manageable. Home tells a different story.
The contrast may reflect masking, communication load, demand sensitivity, or the effort required to compensate through the day.
Prior evaluations explain pieces—not the whole picture.
When findings do not align, the missing information is rarely another isolated score. It is careful synthesis across communication, executive function, regulation, context, and real-world performance.
The report doesn’t answer the real question.
Structured testing can underestimate challenges that appear under time pressure, ambiguity, social demand, fatigue, or competing cognitive load.
Overlapping ADHD, autism, anxiety, and language profiles.
Overlapping ADHD, autism, anxiety, and language profiles.
Complex profiles often involve overlapping communication, executive function, ADHD, autism, anxiety, masking, and regulation differences. The goal is to clarify the patterns that matter most.
Why families come here
What changes when the picture finally makes sense.
Families rarely come looking for another report. They come because bright, capable students continue to struggle in ways previous testing has not fully explained.
A comprehensive explanation changes more than a diagnosis. It creates a clearer path forward—for home, school, future evaluations, and everyday communication.

What families receive
• A written report that explains how the findings fit together
• Practical recommendations for home, school, and everyday communication
• Guidance about when additional diagnostic evaluation or collaboration may be helpful
• An evaluation designed around your family’s referral questions—not a predetermined protocol
How it works
A defined process from first questions to practical next steps.
01
Initial consultation
We review your child's history, previous evaluations, and the questions that led you to seek an evaluation.
02
Understanding your concerns
Every evaluation is thoughtfully designed around your child's unique profile and the questions that matter most.
03
Comprehensive evaluation
Assessment integrates standardized measures with observation, interviews, language analysis, and real-world communication.
04
Clinical synthesis
Findings are synthesized into a report that explains how the pieces fit together.
05
Practical recommendations
Recommendations provide guidance for families, schools, other professionals, and future planning.
Investment
A comprehensive evaluation designed around your family’s questions.
Each evaluation is shaped by the complexity of the referral question rather than a predetermined testing protocol. Families receive a personalized proposal outlining scope, timeline, and fixed fee before scheduling.
Why BASG limits the number of evaluations each month
BASG accepts a limited number of comprehensive evaluations each month so every case receives the preparation, interpretation, consultation, and clinical attention complex profiles require.
