Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. I choose not to work through insurance because it limits time, depth, and clinical judgment. My work is comprehensive, individualized, and not dictated by billing codes.
If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.

Question 2

Reflective Supervision

Accepted Answer

For therapists, school psychs, and clinical teams
$200/hour (individual)

Question 3

What does the Autism/ADOS Assessment include?

Accepted Answer

Our Autism/ADOS Assessment includes the ADOS-2 administration, a developmental history interview, record review, and a comprehensive written report. The cost ranges from $2,800 to $4,500, depending on whether a full cognitive/academic battery is included.

Question 4

Do you provide therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes — short-term, targeted, school- and learning-focused support when appropriate.
This is not open-ended therapy — it’s a strategic clinical intervention rooted in relational neurodevelopment.

Question 5

How much does an evaluation cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope and complexity. Most evaluations fall between $2,400 – $7,200. You get a clear quote after a brief consultation, so you know exactly what you’re signing up for — no surprise billing and no inflated packages.

Question 6

What is the difference between a private evaluation and a school evaluation?

Accepted Answer

School assessments determine if a child qualifies for services, while private evaluations focus on understanding what’s happening, why, and what will help. Schools determine eligibility, whereas we determine needs, diagnosis (if appropriate), and provide individualized recommendations. Both are important, but their goals are different.

Question 7

How long does an evaluation take?

Accepted Answer

From intake to final report, most evaluations take 4–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and complexity.
Testing itself usually happens across 2–3 sessions to respect stamina, accuracy, and nervous system capacity.

Question 8

Can evaluations be conducted virtually?

Accepted Answer

Yes, interviews, history, feedback, and some rating components can be conducted virtually. However, cognitive, academic, and ADOS testing must be done in-person.

Question 9

Will this help with IEP or 504 planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The recommendations are designed to translate into school supports, and I can collaborate with your team if needed. Schools don’t have to accept private reports, but clear clinical evidence and strong recommendations carry weight.

Question 10

How long is each testing session?

Accepted Answer

Most students test best in 60–120 minute blocks over multiple days.
Quality > rushing.

Question 11

Does this evaluation qualify for autism services?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is a clinical evaluation using gold-standard tools (including ADOS-2).
Families typically use this for medical, therapy, and school planning.

Question 12

Should I consider this evaluation if my child has already had a school autism evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you still have questions, if the profile is unclear, or if the results don’t match your child's lived experience, our evaluation can provide additional clarity and depth.

Question 13

How are the fees structured?

Accepted Answer

We believe in clarity and tailoring our services to meet real needs rather than forcing families into one-size-fits-all pricing. Below are general ranges so you know what to expect. Final fees are confirmed after a brief consultation based on complexity, history, and goals.
