In-depth evaluations that explain how your child thinks, learns and feels — and exactly what will help at home and at school.
A neuropsychological assessment is a broad evaluation of thinking, learning, behavior and emotions. Through interviews, history and standardized testing, we look at how your child’s brain is working across many areas — and how those pieces fit together.
We’re known for our long, in-depth reports, written to capture your child in detail: their strengths as well as their challenges, and practical recommendations you can actually act on.
Testing is tailored to the questions you and your child’s school are asking.
Sustained focus, impulsivity, distractibility and how attention affects learning and behavior.
Reading (including dyslexia), writing, math and processing speed — and why school feels harder than it should.
Social communication, flexibility and sensory differences, with a strengths-based view of your child.
Planning, organization, working memory, starting tasks and shifting between them.
Anxiety, mood and how feelings interact with learning, behavior and relationships.
Friendships, reading social cues and navigating group settings.
Testing is most useful when you have questions that observation alone hasn’t answered.
Clear steps from first call to final feedback, with time for your questions throughout.
We meet with parents to understand your concerns, goals and the questions testing should answer.
We review developmental, medical and academic history, including report cards and prior evaluations.
Your child completes standardized tests across several sessions, with breaks and a relaxed, encouraging pace.
We walk you through the results and recommendations, then provide a detailed written report.
A thorough explanation of your child’s profile — strengths, challenges and any diagnoses — written so parents and educators can understand it.
Specific strategies for home and school, plus guidance on therapies, accommodations and next steps.
Time to talk through the findings in plain language and ask every question you have.
Our clinicians can attend CSE meetings to explain results and advocate for the support your child needs.

View full profile →A psychoeducational evaluation focuses mainly on intellectual ability and academic skills. A neuropsychological evaluation goes further — looking at attention, memory, executive functioning, language, emotional and social functioning — to explain why a child is struggling, not just that they are. We’ll recommend the right type for your questions.
Testing usually takes place over several sessions so your child can do their best without becoming over-tired. The exact length depends on the questions being asked; we’ll give you a clear plan at the intake.
Once testing is complete, we score and integrate the results, then meet with you for a feedback session and provide the written report. We’ll give you an expected timeline at the start of the process.
Keep it simple and positive: explain that they’ll be doing puzzles, questions and activities that help us understand how they learn best. Make sure they’re well rested, have eaten, and bring glasses or hearing aids if they use them.
Our reports are designed to be shared with schools and are commonly used to support IEPs, 504 plans and accommodations. We can also attend CSE meetings to explain the findings.
School evaluations focus on eligibility for services. A private neuropsychological evaluation is broader and more detailed, often answering questions a school assessment can’t — such as whether attention, anxiety or a learning difference is driving the difficulty.
A comprehensive neuropsychological testing battery is a $5,500 flat fee. Targeted batteries are priced on a case-by-case basis. See our pricing for details.
Assessment is generally provided on an out-of-network basis. We can provide documentation for you to submit for possible reimbursement — check with your insurer about coverage for neuropsychological testing. See our pricing and insurance page for more.
