Evaluation Options
Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation
This broad developmental evaluation is a ‘one size fits most’ option.
It covers a variety of developmental domains including cognitive, language, social, emotional, attention, motor, learning, memory, and executive functioning abilities. The specific areas assessed will be tailored to the needs of the individual.
We can answer a variety of questions and provide diagnostic clarity. This option is appropriate for questions related to autism, complex trauma, medical history that impacts development, learning, memory, ADHD, and mental health (anxiety, mood, emotional regulation).
Series of 4-5 appointments. See Our Process on Home page and FAQs for more information.
Cost: $2940
Learning Disability Evaluation
This shorter evaluation process answers a specific learning-related question, such as “Does my child have dyslexia?”
We can assess for specific learning disabilities related to reading, writing, and mathematics. The process includes cognitive testing, testing related to the area(s) of academic concern, and screening of attention and mental health.
Series of 3-4 appointments. See Our Process on Home page and FAQs for more information (one less testing appointment than Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation)
Cost: $1680
Giftedness Evaluation
This evaluation process is intended to provide information about a child’s level of cognitive functioning when giftedness is suspected. This evaluation can be used as part of admission requirements for certain educational programs. A brief intake, testing, and feedback are completed in one 3-hour appointment. We provide a report that summarizes the results.
Cost: $840
Alternate Options
In some cases, a modified version of the above options is needed. Perhaps your child has already completed some testing through school, you want a second opinion, or you have a specific question/need that requires another option. Reach out to us and we can create a plan.
Cost: Varies

Parent Consultation
We can provide education & ‘trouble shooting’ for families who have been through our evaluation process. Parents can feel overwhelmed after the feedback session. Sometimes there is a wait for therapy, but you need support now. Sometimes you have more questions and need additional ideas to implement at home. We offer a package of 3 additional ‘feedback’ or follow-up sessions for caregivers.
