Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Through evidence-based interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have worked closely with individuals across the spectrum to address core deficits and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable components, I implement structured and individualized behavior plans tailored to each person's specific needs and strengths. Utilizing positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I foster the acquisition of new skills and behaviors while reducing challenging behaviors.

Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment
Psychologist, Ph.D.
UCEBT offers assessments examining Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for individuals age 2 through adulthood.
This may be a component of a psychoeducational evaluation if you suspect your child has ASD and that it may be impacting academic functioning. However, not all individuals with ASD struggle academically, and ASD is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts more areas in life than academics. Furthermore, many adults may have questions about whether they have had undiagnosed ASD, which can be common for some high-functioning presentations.
Autism evaluations examine whether an individual meets criteria for ASD using evidence-based procedures, and also examines common rule-outs/co-occurring disorders such as ADHD, social anxiety, and/or OCD. Academic achievement measures may or may not be included, depending on individual needs.
Our autism testing is not exclusively for children.
ADHD and ASD can be diagnosed in adulthood. Many adults may be experiencing chronic difficulties with meeting job expectations, organizing tasks, completing household chores, engaging in daily living activities, remembering obligations, and forming/maintaining healthy relationships. Often adult clients come to us with prior diagnoses of mood, anxiety, or personality problems, and are frustrated that previous treatments have been unsuccessful in helping them meet their goals.
Through assessment, we can determine whether there may be evidence for a missed ADHD or Autism diagnosis that accounts for pervasive lifelong problems.
We use evidence-based methodologies to examine relevant cognitive processes, behaviors, and social/emotional symptoms tailored to how neurodevelopmental disorders present in adults. However, it is also important to note that criteria for ADHD and ASD state that symptoms need to be present in childhood, even if they were mild and perhaps not as apparent until the demands of the environment exceeded individual capacities. Therefore, we also require parent/caregiver interviews, previous testing, and/or school records from childhood as part of the evaluation for adults.
We have several ways to ensure our clients are receiving the highest quality assessment and testing experience.
Autism Evaluations at UCEBT are led by our Assessment & Testing Program Director, Laura Rowley, PhD.
Our team of clinicians assesses a wide range of referral questions and keeps a consistent flow to keep our skills sharp. To build on our skills, we consult with each other -- no one conceptualizes alone, making sure everything is grounded in data and that we’re not relying too heavily on one person’s clinical judgment.
We’re lucky to be a diverse group of clinicians regarding our backgrounds and specialty areas of testing. In addition, we seek consultation from clinicians in the community, research new testing measures, and find developing evidence-based methods for assessing specific populations. It is important to us that we stay up to date with research and the collective wisdom of the profession.
Using the "gold standard" of autism assessments.
We use the latest in evaluation measurements, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) to assess and aid in autism diagnosis. Often to access services (e.g. speech, occupational therapy, ABA), insurance companies require the use on an ADOS-2 for diagnosis. The ADOS-2 is one component of a comprehensive evaluation. Our clinicians use a variety of measures and obtain sources of information from different settings to provide evidence-based psychological assessment.
Stay at UCEBT for treatment or receive treatment elsewhere.
Testing is a standalone service offered at UCEBT. However, if you are interested in seeking therapy services, we can refer you to the appropriate treatment team. You would not have to complete an initial intake and would be placed at the top of the list to be scheduled with an available clinician that is trained and experienced in the best evidence-based treatment for you.

Rachel Minelli
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing comprehensive Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I have completed over 600 Autism evaluations over the past 5 years. Evaluations generally include a clinical interview via telehealth and an in-person testing session. For adults, assessments can be complete via our telehealth platform without an in-person testing assessment. Once testing is complete, I review the results of the assessment via telehealth. I also provide a comprehensive report outlining the results of the evaluation, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations.

he first part of a learning assessment is usually an IQ test. The second part is academic testing. This is a thorough assessment of major subjects of study that are foundational for learning. This includes: math, writing, reading, spelling, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. If a person has a statistically significant difference between their IQ score and their academic ability, we diagnosis a specific learning disability.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
I am passionate about the appropriate diagnosis and interventions for individuals with Autism. I provide therapy and evaluations for these individuals across the lifespan. Individuals with Autism are often mistaken for not experiencing emotions, which is unfortunate. These individuals experience anger, frustration, fear, sadness, and loneliness as the rest of us do. It may be expressed differently, or not at all. This can lead to feelings of isolation and often, suicidal ideation or attempts. We can work together to uncover you or your child's unique abilities and focus on them through therapy and/or diagnostic evaluation.
