Autism & Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Diagnostic assessment for autism spectrum disorder and related developmental differences, with strengths-based recommendations for school and home.
What Is a Psychological / Psychoeducational Assessment?
It's a tailored battery of tests and clinical procedures that evaluates intellectual abilities, learning processes, attention and memory, academic skills, and social-emotional/behavioral functioning. Your child's battery is selected based on the referral questions, and may include structured interviews, standardized cognitive and academic measures, attention/executive-function tasks, rating scales from parents/teachers, and observation.
Fees & Deliverables
- Fees include administration, scoring, interpretation, a comprehensive written report, and a results review session.
- Typical range: $650–$2,800 depending on scope and hours required. Installments available (deposit at booking, portion on test day, balance at feedback).
- Reports are school-ready and outline diagnoses (when indicated), accommodations, and practical next-step recommendations.

Emotional Support Animals: What Families Should Know
What is an ESA?
An Emotional Support Animal is prescribed by a licensed mental-health professional for a person with a qualifying mental-health disability when the animal's presence meaningfully alleviates symptoms. ESAs provide therapeutic companionship but are not the same as service animals.
ESA vs. Service Animals
- Service animals (typically dogs) are trained to perform specific tasks for a person with a disability and are generally permitted in public spaces under the ADA.
- ESAs are not task-trained and do not have public-access rights like service animals. ESAs may qualify for certain housing accommodations under the Fair Housing Act when documentation criteria are met.
During ESA evaluations, we follow clinical, ethical, and legal best-practice guidance and provide documentation only when criteria are met.
