Types of Evaluations

Psychoeducational Evaluation

Our comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations include: parent / guardian interview, review of school and medical records, a school observation, one-on-one standardized testing, rating scales / scoring, a written report with diagnostic impressions and recommendations, and a one hour review with you regarding the findings and recommendations. The results of our evaluations include clinical diagnoses and educational recommendations that may be used by the school district to determine necessary services for your child to fully benefit from their education, such as the development of an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP).

As part of our evaluations, we provide educational / service recommendations as well as clinical diagnoses for disorders such as:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Intellectual Disability (ID)
Anxiety
Depression
...as well as other developmental concerns.

Neuropsychological Assessment

A school neuropsychological assessment integrates education and neuropsychology principles. It is a more in-depth assessment that examines neurocognitive functioning in areas such as attention, executive functioning, memory, auditory, visuospatial, and sensorimotor skills that impact learning. The goal of this type of assessment is to better understand a complex learning profile, which may or may not have been impacted by neurodevelopmental risks, neurological differences, or congenital or acquired brain injury, and therefore be able to provide more precise recommendations on interventions or next steps.

Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)

At times, parents and school districts / agencies do not agree about a child's educational needs. When a second opinion is needed to help resolve the disagreement, we can provide an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE).

An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a psychoeducational evaluation, sometimes called a special education evaluation, that is funded by your school district / agency as the result of a disagreement that you may have regarding the psychoeducational assessment results that were conducted by your school district / agency.

An IEE is an independent psychoeducational evaluation meant to be an unbiased "second opinion" for you and your child's school team to consider.

To obtain an IEE, your school district / agency will have needed to conduct their own school-based psychoeducational evaluation for your child. After a school-based psychoeducational evaluation is conducted and if you disagree with the results that your child's team presented to you, you may request an IEE by stating to the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team or submitting in writing that you would like to request an IEE. Your school district / agency will then provide you with a list of providers that you may choose from or you may elect your own provider to conduct the IEE.

Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) Evaluation and Risk Assessment

When an individual reports or demonstrates behaviors that lead to concerns about their ability to regulate their emotions and/or cope with life stressors in an adaptive manner, we provide diagnostic clarification, consultation regarding risk of violence towards others and self, and treatment recommendations.

Clinical Psychological Evaluation

Our team of licensed psychologists specializes in providing comprehensive assessments for conditions such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, and more. Our assessments include standardized tests, behavioral observations, and thorough evaluations of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning--depending on your referral concern. Our goal is to provide accurate clinical diagnoses and tailored recommendations for interventions and support strategies. Our detailed assessment reports help parents and individuals understand their or their child's condition and guide appropriate interventions to promote their well-being. (A clinical psychological evaluation differs from a psychoeducational evaluation in that it does not determine an individual's need for special education services).

Testing for Exam Accommodations

Our comprehensive assessment process is designed to help young adults access appropriate accommodations for exams in higher education settings. Our assessment reports are tailored to meet the requirements of college and university disability services offices as well as testing agencies, providing clear and detailed recommendations for appropriate exam accommodations, such as extended time, separate testing environment, or other reasonable adjustments. We also work closely with college-age adults and parents to help them understand their rights under relevant laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and provide guidance on the accommodation request process. We understand the challenges that college-age adults and parents may face in navigating the exam accommodation process, and we strive to provide timely and effective assessments to support their academic success.

Notice of Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges Under the No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who self-pay for their services an estimate of the bill for medical items and services (including therapy).

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including therapy services.

Ensure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your services begin. You can also ask your healthcare provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
