FAQs

A comprehensive psychoeducational assessment may be appropriate for your child if you have concerns about a possible learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, general learning difficulties, intellectual disability, anxiety, depression, etc.

A comprehensive evaluation is much more in depth and includes direct assessment of your student’s academic, cognitive, and emotional (if needed) strengths and challenges. We will connect with your student’s educators and any relevant doctors or outside providers to get a full picture of their needs. A comprehensive assessment can lead to a diagnosis that can be a useful tool in getting your student’s needs met. You will be provided with a detailed report with a diagnosis (if applicable), a clear breakdown of your student’s strengths and weaknesses, and useful specific recommendations for helping your student succeed.

Our individual services and screenings are more brief and focus on a specific area of concern i.e. academics, cognitive ability, or social emotional functioning. We also do screenings for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which will help determine the likelihood that your student has one of these disabilities but will not result in a diagnosis, as a comprehensive evaluation is needed for all diagnostics. Individual services will include a brief written report.

We work with school age students from TK through graduate school.

Observing students in their learning environment gives valuable insight into how their personal strengths and weaknesses manifest in the classroom setting and impact educational access. Observing in the school setting also allows us to see specific areas of need to address in our recommendations. Furthermore, classroom observations allow us to learn about the student’s educational setting. In some cases observation in the school setting may not be appropriate, especially for older students.

We specialize in assessing a wide range of learning, developmental, and emotional disabilities including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression.

Comprehensive assessments include one school based meeting (up to two hours in length). School based meetings include Student Success Team (SST) meetings, Individualized Educational Program (IEP) meetings, Section 504 Plan meetings, and Parent-Teacher Conferences. For additional meetings or individual service clients we can attend further meetings at our hourly rate of $150 per hour.

If needed, we are available by phone and email to provide follow up support in further understanding your student’s results, navigating the education system, and finding applicable services in the community.

All results are confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your written consent. As licensed professionals we are bound by confidentiality except in the following situations: 1. If child/elder abuse or neglect is suspected or reported. 2. If a client expresses a serious desire to harm others. 3. If a client expresses suicidal ideation or thoughts of self harm.

We do not take insurance directly but some insurance companies may provide reimbursement for “out of network” services. We can provide you with a superbill that includes diagnostic and service codes for you to submit to your insurance company.

We accept payment through cash, check or credit card. We ask that you pay 50% at the first session or meeting and the balance when the assessment is completed.
