• Active, unrestricted license to practice at the doctoral level in the State of New York.

• Extensive experience with pediatric psychological testing, test battery selection, and ASD-focused clinical interviews (ADOS-2 training required).

• Comfort providing services across both in-person and remote modalities, including supporting evaluations remotely for other clinics as needed.

• Experience with or training in digital administration of psychological tests where available.
