✔️ Specific diagnoses when appropriate (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia)
✔️ Concrete, school-ready recommendations (IEP/504 support)
✔️ A plan you can confidently follow at home and at school

  • Initial Consultation & Clinical Interview
    A detailed review of developmental, medical, educational, and psychological history

  • Standardized Testing (4–8+ hours, depending on referral needs)
    Assessment of attention, memory, executive functioning, language, learning, and emotional functioning

  • Scoring & In-Depth Data Analysis
    Integration of test results using evidence-based methods

  • Comprehensive Written Report
    A clear, detailed document outlining findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and individualized recommendations

Why Private Pay?

Working outside of insurance allows for:

  • Greater depth and flexibility in testing selection

  • Longer, unrushed appointments

  • Clinically driven decisions, rather than insurance limitations

We can provide a superbill upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly.

Payment Options

To make this process more accessible, we offer:

  • Split payment options (e.g., deposit + final payment)

  • Acceptance of major credit cards, HSA, and FSA funds

Please inquire if you would like to discuss a customized payment arrangement.

  • No. This is a private pay service. This allows for a fully individualized evaluation without the limitations, restrictions, or time constraints imposed by insurance companies.

    Many insurance-based evaluations are required to meet strict “medical necessity” criteria and are often limited in scope, time, and reimbursement structure. Private pay ensures the evaluation is guided entirely by clinical judgment and the child’s needs.

  • School-based evaluations are designed to determine eligibility for special education services within the school system. They are structured to answer a specific administrative question: whether a student qualifies for supports under educational criteria.

    A private neuropsychological evaluation is broader and more clinically integrated. It is designed to clarify underlying cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning and to provide a detailed roadmap for intervention across school, home, and therapeutic settings.
