Evaluation Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My child is struggling in school. Can you help him?
A: We offer consultative services, observations, screenings, evaluations, training, coaching, and resources to parents who would like assistance in finding root causes of their child’s social, emotional, behavior, or academic problems.
Q: What kinds of testing do you do?
A: We test in the areas of language, academics, executive functioning, behavior, and cognition. We will help you determine what your child’s strengths and weaknesses are and what kinds of strategies and interventions are needed to help them learn. A comprehensive report is provided so that you fully understand the testing that was conducted and the recommendations for your child.
Q: I don’t want my child to miss school, but I do want him tested. How does that work?
A: We have appointments to fit your schedule. We offer BOTH evening and weekend appointments as well as those offered during the day. Feedback appointments and consultations are also scheduled on a flexible basis.
Q: I don't know how to talk to my child's school about the results. Can you help with that?
A: Yes. With your written consent, we can share the results of the evaluation with the school, collaborate with staff members, or attend a meeting with you or on your behalf.
Q: Can you share your report with other professionals or the court?
A: Yes, we absolutely can. We do require your written consent to do so.
Q: What will I need to bring to the first appointment?
A: We ask that you complete and review our paperwork found on the website. That will expedite your appointment. Also, if you have any progress notes, report cards, teacher comments, work samples, or other medical or evaluative data you would like us to consider in order to prepare a comprehensive assessment plan. You may also want to send your child with a snack the day of testing. There is a 225.00 non-refundable deposit to be applied to testing due at the time booking your appointment. In the case of cancellation, the fee can be applied to the re-scheduled appointment. Unless otherwise stated, no cash or credit refunds will be given.
Q: Do you take insurance?
A: Sometimes insurance may pay for part of a behavior, language, counseling, or psycho-educational evaluation. Although we are not currently set up to take insurance, we will be happy to provide documentation and diagnostic or evaluation codes that you may use to seek reimbursement.
