A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines cognitive abilities, academic skills, attention, memory, and social-emotional functioning. It helps identify conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and giftedness, and provides specific recommendations for support at home, school, and work.
The full process typically takes 4-6 weeks from the initial consultation to the feedback session. Assessment sessions are spread over 2-3 visits, each lasting 2-4 hours. We schedule at your convenience and can accommodate school and work schedules.

We provide detailed receipts for reimbursement through your insurance provider, Health Spending Account (HSA), or Flexible Spending Account.
