Are you wondering why your child is struggling in school or with friends? Perhaps you, a teacher, or a learning specialist wonders if your child might have ADHD, autism, or a learning difference? A comprehensive psychological assessment is a powerful tool for gaining clarity and developing a concrete path forward. I believe the assessment process is an opportunity to boost your child’s confidence, deepen their self-awareness, and develop a concrete plan to help your child reach their full potential. In addition to diagnostic clarity, I create a detailed, strengths-based "roadmap" that illuminates your child's unique profile—their cognitive strengths, their learning style, and their areas of growth and challenge. I will provide you with a detailed written report that synthesizes the assessment findings into a comprehensive narrative. The written report is a valuable tool with individualized recommendations that can help teachers, specialists, and parents create an intervention plan (e.g., school accommodations) for supporting your child’s needs.

What Can an Assessment Identify?

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and other learning disorders

• Neurodevelopmental differences

• Social-emotional and behavioral challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression) that impact learning and academic achievement

What is Included in an Assessment?

• Parent/caregiver interview

• Child interview

• Consultation with teachers and specialists

• Standardized questionnaires and behavioral rating scales

• Direct testing with your child

• Parent feedback

• Child feedback

• A comprehensive written report that includes diagnostic clarity, an overview of strengths and vulnerabilities, and individualized recommendations that can be used to inform educational interventions (e.g., academic accommodations)

Fees and Insurance

Assessments in my practice are comprehensive and include cognitive, academic, memory, social-emotional, and behavioral testing, integrated into a detailed report with individualized recommendations. Fees includes the intake interviews; collaborating with teachers and specialists; testing, scoring, and interpretation; report writing; the feedback session; and the comprehensive written report.

Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation: $3,500 This evaluation is designed to identify challenges related to learning (such as dyslexia), attention (ADHD), executive functioning, and emotional factors that may be impacting your child's school performance.

Comprehensive Autism Evaluation: $5,000 This is a more extensive evaluation that includes components of the psychoeducational assessment, plus highly specialized, gold-standard diagnostic tools required for a thorough autism evaluation (including the ADOS-2). The higher fee reflects the additional testing time, observation, and complex interpretation required to accurately assess for autism.

Upon request, families receive a detailed superbill with CPT codes to submit to their insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
