Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluations
Our evaluations cover 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 individual's needs.
We can answer a variety of questions and provide diagnostic clarity. This option is appropriate for questions related to autism, AD/HD, learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia), medical history that impacts development, and mental health (e.g., anxiety, mood, OCD, emotional regulation). We provide broad developmental evaluations through the following options:
A 2-session evaluation is standard and scheduled in most cases. For most children 4 & under, we schedule an in-person observation at their preschool, daycare, or other setting rather than completing a second testing appointment. A 2-session evaluation is likely appropriate for a child 4 & under who has completed a ‘screening’ through the school district (i.e., minimal or no direct assessment completed; primarily questionnaires and checklists).
Cost: $3250
A 1-session evaluation is scheduled for:
Individuals who need a diagnostic assessment along with cognitive and adaptive testing. Some families need this type of evaluation to ensure the continuation of service coverage by insurance or the state.
Evaluations with young children (4 & under) with whom an in-person observation is not feasible.
Re-evaluations with children who completed a broad evaluation within the last 2 years** (with us, in school, or through another clinic). In these cases, less direct testing is needed because not all previous testing needs repeating.
Cost: $2330
**Your psychologist will review the previous evaluation after you are scheduled and will confirm if 1 or 2 sessions are needed. Given the broad range of evaluation types and quality, 2 sessions might be required even if recent testing has been completed.
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. If academic testing is needed and exceeds the 3-hour session, additional time can be added and will be charged at our hourly rate.
Cost: $920
