Questions Real Parents and Adults Ask

"How do I know if this is normal kid stuff, or if my child actually needs an evaluation?"

1

That uncertainty is exactly what the free consultation is for. You don't need to already know the answer — we'll talk through what you're seeing and help you figure out together whether an evaluation makes sense right now.


"My child already had testing through the school. Why would I pay for a private evaluation too?"

2

School evaluations are often narrower in scope, driven by eligibility criteria rather than a full picture of your child, and can miss things like giftedness, subtle processing differences, or a co-occurring condition. A private evaluation is independent, more comprehensive, and designed to answer your specific questions — not just determine eligibility for services.


"Will this go on my child's school record, or affect them down the road?"

3

We're happy to talk through exactly how results are used and shared — you're always in control of who sees the report and when.


"What if we go through this whole process and there's no diagnosis at the end? Was it wasted money?"

4

"I'm an adult who was never evaluated as a kid. Is it too late for me?"

"Will insurance cover any of this?"

Never. Ruling things out is just as valuable as ruling them in — it tells you where to stop looking and gives you real information instead of ongoing uncertainty.


Not at all. Many of the adults we see are discovering, for the first time, a clear explanation for patterns they've lived with for decades. It's never too late to get an answer.


We don't bill insurance directly, but we provide a superbill many clients use for partial out-of-network reimbursement. We always recommend checking your specific plan's testing benefits.
