Pay directly for services without going through insurance
We offer self-pay services for families seeking timely, comprehensive evaluations without the limitations or delays often associated with insurance.
This approach allows for shorter wait times, personalized, in-depth assessments, and clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your child.
Split the cost into structured payments over time
We offer structured payment plans that allow families to divide the cost of the evaluation into smaller payments over time.
Payments are scheduled in advance, with the final payment due on the day of the evaluation.
This option is designed to make the evaluation process more manageable without the need for third-party financing.
Use pre-tax healthcare funds for eligible services
HSA, FSA, and HRA are tax-advantaged accounts that can be used to pay for healthcare services.
Can I use HSA, FSA, or HRA for services?
Yes. These accounts can often be used for neuropsychological evaluations and mental health services.
Coverage varies depending on your specific plan. We recommend contacting your benefits provider to confirm eligibility.
Education-based funding for eligible families
Step Up For Students may allow eligible families to use approved funds toward evaluations and services.
If your child qualifies, these funds can help cover the cost of care.
Third-party options to spread out payments over time
We offer several financing options that allow you to begin services and pay over time:
CareCredit
Afterpay
Affirm
Klarna
Zip
Many families use these options to make services more manageable.
If you’re unsure which option is best for your family, our team is here to guide you through the process.

The length of the evaluation depends on your child’s age, pace, and the specific tests that need to be completed. For younger children, evaluations typically last around 2 to 3 hours, while more comprehensive evaluations for older children may last approximately 4 to 5 hours. Short breaks are incorporated throughout the evaluation to help your child relax and remain comfortable.
Parents may leave during the evaluation and return later if desired. We simply ask that caregivers remain nearby and accessible by phone in case any questions or needs arise during the appointment. It is not necessary to wait inside the clinic, and many families choose to work remotely or wait at nearby locations such as Starbucks on the first floor of the building.
Yes. We recommend packing a light lunch, snacks, and a water bottle or thermos, especially for longer evaluations. Familiar foods can help children feel more comfortable, regulated, and energized throughout the day.
A lunch break is typically scheduled around 12:30–1:00 pm depending on the evaluation schedule.
No special preparation is required. The most important thing is that your child arrives well-rested, has eaten, and is dressed comfortably.
We encourage families to present the visit in a calm and positive way so children feel supported and at ease.
Depending on the reason for the evaluation, testing may include activities that assess intelligence, executive functions, language, memory, attention, reasoning, behavior, and social skills.
Our goal is to better understand your child’s strengths and areas of need in order to provide individualized recommendations and support.
This is very common, and our team is experienced in helping children feel comfortable, safe, and supported throughout the evaluation process. We use a warm, developmentally sensitive approach and allow time for children to transition into the testing environment at their own pace whenever possible.
If there are specific strategies, comfort items, sensory supports, or routines that help your child feel more regulated, please let us know ahead of time so we can best support them.
If your child has a fever, persistent cough, or any illness that could affect their performance or comfort during testing, we recommend rescheduling the appointment.
It is not appropriate to evaluate children when they are not feeling at their best, as illness, fatigue, or physical discomfort may interfere with their performance and impact the accuracy of the evaluation results. For this reason, the appointment will be rescheduled to ensure the most representative and reliable findings possible.
The turnaround time for the evaluation report may vary depending on the complexity of the case, but reports are generally completed within 1 to 2 weeks following the evaluation.
Our team will keep you informed regarding expected timelines whenever applicable.
Once testing is completed, a feedback appointment will be scheduled with parents or caregivers to review the results, discuss diagnoses (if applicable), and provide individualized recommendations for treatment, school supports, therapies, or interventions.
Our goal is to ensure families leave with a clearer understanding of their child’s strengths, needs, and next steps for support.
