The office is located at 1955 Merrick Road, Suite 205, Merrick, New York 11566.

Dr. Rose makes every effort to create a warm, comfortable, and accepting environment for all ages. Establishing a strong, trusting rapport with your therapist is essential for treatment success. Children especially can be “slow to warm” to therapy. Dr. Rose has worked with children for 15+ years in a variety of settings other than in the therapy office, like camps, schools, and via coaching sports teams.

Additionally, Dr. Rose incorporates games, prizes, video gaming (Nintendo Switch!), and other kid-friendly modalities to help soften the experience while making the process both rewarding and fun!

At this time, Dr. Rose is not a member of any insurance panels; however, upon the completion of session payment, a “superbill” is provided. This is a receipt that you can submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It is very important that you check with your insurance company prior to us working together so that you can be informed about any out-of-network mental health service reimbursement that your insurance company provides, along with related deductible amounts.

Dr. Rose’s sessions are usually 45 minutes in length.

For evaluations, the length will depend and vary based on the testing performed. Dr. Rose will be able to give you a better idea of the specific evaluation length as he gets to know the patient and the testing required. Usually, evaluations will take place over the course of 2-3 visits to the office.

The ADOS-2 stands for Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd Edition. The ADOS-2 is a highly structured, nuanced evaluation measure used in conjunction with other measures to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Rose has been formally trained and certified to conduct ADOS-2 testing. Using a series of communicative and social “presses,” the ADOS-2 is designed to elicit real-time observations that can be used to diagnose (or deny the presence of) Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Keep in mind, the ADOS-2 is very rarely used in isolation. It is usually part of a larger, more comprehensive Autism evaluation. If the only test that the patient needs is an ADOS-2, Dr. Rose will usually ask for the testing/evaluations that have already been completed in order to help clarify any findings.

It’s important to understand that everyone is different. Success in therapy often ebbs and flows. There may be quick results for some and a more long-term trajectory for others. There is no “one size fits all” approach for therapy, other than establishing a strong trusting relationship. Dr. Rose hopes to be this therapist for you or your child!

Dr. Rose will inform you via telephone and/or email of the specific session or evaluation fee.

Good Faith Estimate:

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Evaluations, depending on what testing is needed, often will take around 4-6 weeks from start to finish. This includes information gathering, the testing itself, the report writing, and the feedback session - these elements are all included in the evaluation fee.

Dr. Rose uses the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2nd Edition), the ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised), and the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scale. Depending on age and need, Dr. Rose will also provide IQ testing, Behavioral measures, social-emotional measures, personality measures, and projective measures.
