Private Evaluations

  • A comprehensive neuropsyphological evaluation will examine cognition, memory, academic achievement, fine motor, language, phonological processing, social-emotional/behavior functioning, personality, attention, and executive functioning. Psychoeducational evaluations primarily focus on cognitive and academic skills, and educational impact. Depending on your child’s needs, we’ll determine which type of evaluation is most appropriate. Evaluations can lead to DSM-V diagnoses of learning disabilities/disorders in reading, math, and writing (i.e. dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia), ADHD, and/or Autism. Executive functioning will be thoroughly examined. Social-emotional barriers to learning, such as anxiety and depression can also be identified. Following the evaluation, a thorough written report with recommendations will be presented to you at the final feedback session.

    Autism evaluations require additional specialized assessments, including the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), which is considered one of the gold standard assessments for Autism.

    Note: At this time, Autism evaluations are only available for those ages 5-18.

  • An assessment of giftedness will determine if an individual is cognitively or academically gifted. This can be particularly useful in planning services at school and understanding learning needs, strengths, and weaknesses. This type of evaluation would include interviews with parent and/or client, and administration of IQ and academic tests. Additional assessment of social-emotional functioning may also be incorporated. A feedback session and comprehensive written report will follow.

  • If you were you once diagnosed with a disability but need or want updated documentation, we can help. You may suspect that you have a learning disability or ADHD and are seeking answers as well as possible school and/or testing accommodations (e.g. extra time on tests). The assessments would include a combination of clinical interviews, cognitive assessment, academic assessment, tests of attention and executive functioning, and social-emotional/behavior functioning. A written report with recommendations will be presented at the final feedback meeting.

    Note: At this time, Autism evaluations are only available to individuals up to age 18.

Fees for private evaluations vary because they are highly individualized to the needs of the client. The hourly rate is $175/hour. The majority of evaluations are between 8-15 hours; however, sometimes less or more time is needed.

Autism evaluations are the most involved and require additional time and expertise.

The overall fee quoted for your evaluation will include the intake appointment, review of available records (if applicable), school communication (if applicable), testing sessions, test scoring and interpretation, report writing, and final feedback session.
