Areas of Assessment
01
Psychoeducational Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation of how your child thinks and learns. Psychoeducational assessment examines cognitive and academic skills to identify patterns of strengths and challenges and better understand concerns related to learning and school performance.
An evaluation may include assessment of intellectual functioning, reading, writing, mathematics, memory, processing, and other areas based on the referral questions.
Common concerns: Learning difficulties, academic underachievement, suspected learning disabilities, and understanding a child's overall learning profile.
02
ADHD & Executive Functioning Assessment
A focused evaluation designed to better understand concerns involving attention, organization, working memory, processing, impulse control, and other executive functioning skills.
Assessment may combine direct testing, rating scales, developmental history, observations, and information from parents and teachers to understand how attention and executive functioning affect your child's performance at school and in everyday life.
Common concerns: Inattention, organization, task initiation, working memory, time management, self-monitoring, and suspected ADHD.
03
Social-Emotional Assessment
An evaluation of the emotional, behavioral, and social factors that may be affecting your child's functioning at home, at school, or with peers.
Assessment may include interviews, standardized rating scales, developmental history, observations, and other measures selected to better understand your child's individual strengths and areas of concern.
Common concerns: Anxiety, mood, emotional regulation, behavior, social functioning, adjustment, and the interaction between emotional well-being and school performance.
Fees and Payment
Comprehensive evaluation fees typically range from $2,000–$4,000.
Fees vary depending on the referral questions, scope of the evaluation, and assessment measures needed. Each evaluation is individually designed to address the specific concerns and needs of the child.
More complex referral questions may require additional assessment, record review, consultation, or professional time and may result in a fee above the typical range. The scope of the evaluation and total fee will always be discussed and agreed upon before the evaluation begins.
