Our school psychologists are highly qualified and deeply committed to helping children succeed. They have advanced degrees in school psychology and hold certifications or licenses in their states. With extensive experience in conducting Learning Profiles, Learning Evaluations, Psychoeducational Evaluations, and Neuropsychological Evaluations, both in schools and remotely, you can trust that your child is in capable and caring hands.

Parents often choose private evaluations for reasons like:

• Quick access to testing and results without waiting on school resources.
• Specialized support for gifted and talented programs or standardized testing accommodations.
• Concerns about learning challenges, social or behavioral issues, or emotional regulation, whether mild or significant.
• Homeschooling insights, such as curriculum recommendations and understanding of learning strengths and challenges.
• Independent comparison to existing school-based evaluations, offering a second opinion on educational needs and eligibility for special programs.
• Thorough recommendations for interventions or support, including a possible DSM-5 diagnosis for conditions impacting education, such as ADHD or ASD.

Your child’s specific needs and educational context help determine the best evaluation. We'll work with you to determine which service may be the best fit, and here's a general breakdown:

• Learning Profiles are ideal for families who want a foundational look at their child’s learning abilities and cognitive skills. It’s a streamlined, affordable option for parents seeking academic insights, particularly homeschoolers.

• Learning Evaluations provide more comprehensive educational testing, including both general IQ and achievement scores. This option is great if you need a clear picture of your child’s academic performance in core areas or are seeking special education eligibility.

• Psychoeducational Evaluations dive deeper, covering a broader array of learning and cognitive processes, plus possible DSM-5 diagnoses for specific learning challenges. These are helpful for parents who want a detailed understanding of how their child learns, beyond standard achievement and IQ scores.

• Neuropsychological Evaluations are the most intensive, focusing on complex learning, behavioral, and developmental concerns like AD/HD, ASD, or emotional issues. Choose this if your child has significant concerns that may require specialized support or diagnosis beyond learning alone.

School-based evaluations often focus on eligibility for special education services, guided by district or state standards. Private evaluations, like ours, offer a broader perspective tailored to your child’s unique needs. Private evaluations provide deeper insights, are often completed faster, and offer specialized testing options, like those for gifted programs, homeschooling curriculum choices, and DSM-5 diagnoses. Our reports also serve as independent documentation, valuable for families needing a second opinion or seeking specific recommendations for educational and emotional support.

We understand that time is important. Generally, our process includes an initial consultation, assessment sessions, report writing, and a feedback meeting. Comprehensive evaluations may also include additional interviews and observation sessions. Learning Profiles require 1-3 weeks, Learning Evaluations take 3-6 weeks, and Comprehensive Evaluations are completed within 4-8 weeks. We aim to provide timely, efficient services without compromising on quality.

Getting started is easy. Simply complete our intake form and schedule an initial consultation with our clinical coordinator. During this chat, we'll discuss your child's needs, review any previous assessments or school reports, and create a personalized evaluation plan. Since our evaluations are conducted remotely, you'll need access to a computer or laptop (mobile phones, tablets, and iPads won't work). It's also helpful to have an adult or older sibling available to assist during the sessions.

We bring our evaluations right to your home. Our services are delivered remotely, so your child can be assessed in the comfort of your own home while our school psychologist works from their office. Currently, we serve families in 43 states (plus Washington D.C.) across the nation. While we're not yet available in Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, and Oregon, we'd encourage you to join our notification list and we'll let you know when we're available in your state.

We strive to be transparent about our pricing. Current prices are outlined above in the services section. Payment for evaluations is required upfront, and we accept credit card, ACH, Paypal, and Apple Pay. For hourly services, we invoice you as they are billed by the school psychologist.

While we don't bill insurance companies directly, we're happy to provide a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance company beforehand to understand your coverage and any required documentation. It's also worth looking into your Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to cover our services.

Yes, we can offer evaluation services to adults, though we specialize in testing for children. Our skilled school psychologists are equipped to provide evaluations and intelligence testing for individuals of all ages.
