Published fee ranges

Typical fee ranges are as follows:

ServiceFee Range
Adult ADHD Evaluation$2,500–$4,000
College or Graduate School Accommodation Evaluation$3,000–$5,000
Comprehensive PsychoEducational Evaluation$6,000
Comprehensive Autism, ADHD, and Learning Evaluation$6,000–$7,000

More complex cases involving extensive developmental history, multiple diagnoses, significant record review, legal involvement, or comprehensive accommodation documentation may require additional time and testing.

Assessment fees vary depending on the complexity of the referral concerns, the amount of record review required, the number of testing sessions needed, and whether accommodations documentation is being requested for college, graduate school, or standardized examinations. Because every evaluation is individualized, a more specific fee estimate is provided following the initial intake consultation.

These figures are maintained on the Scope of Service and Payment page, which is the authoritative source. If the two ever disagree, that page is correct.

What the fee covers

Comprehensive evaluations include:

  • Intake interview
  • Record review
  • Standardized testing
  • Behavioral and rating scale measures
  • Collaboration with relevant professionals when appropriate
  • Comprehensive written report
  • Feedback meeting with findings and recommendations

Insurance

Services are provided on a private-pay basis. Payment and insurance reimbursement are the responsibility of the client. While I am not contracted with insurance companies, some clients may be eligible for partial reimbursement for out-of-network services depending on their individual insurance plan. Upon request, a detailed receipt or superbill can be provided for clients to submit directly to their insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Payment

Clients are billed electronically through QuickBooks, which allows secure payment by credit card or bank transfer. Venmo is also accepted. Assessment fees, payment schedules, and deposit information are reviewed during the intake process.

Cancellation policy

A minimum of 24-hour notice is required for cancellations or appointment changes. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be billed at the hourly rate. Because assessment appointments reserve significant time specifically for each client, late cancellations and missed appointments limit availability for other families and clients seeking services.

Why evaluations are priced this way

Assessment fees vary depending on the complexity of the referral concerns, the amount of record review required, the number of testing sessions needed, and whether accommodations documentation is being requested for college, graduate school, or standardized examinations. An evaluation is not a single appointment: it spans intake, records review, one or more testing sessions of two to three hours each, a written report, and a feedback meeting.

The full process, from intake through the feedback meeting, is set out on the Assessment Process page.
