Fees for Service

​
Evaluations:

- Evaluation fees vary depending on the amount of time it takes to complete testing, review records, write the report, consult with educators, and interview clients.  Typically, a comprehensive evaluation costs between $2500-3500.  We can discuss the cost when we speak to you about your concerns and reason for requesting an evaluation.

- We work closely with each individual to set up a flexible payment plan that will work for you.  In most circumstances, a 50% deposit is due prior to the first testing session in order to hold your appointment.

- We offer a sliding scale for individuals who cannot afford our fees.

-We do not take health insurance directly because most health insurance companies will not reimburse for testing that is deemed educationally relevant.  However, we will provide you with a receipt so that you can submit it to your health insurance carrier and attempt to get reimbursed.  

Please note: If you are looking for Cognitive/IQ testing for private school admission, the cost is significantly reduced. Please call us to discuss your options.

Welcome to Holland

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to imagine how it would feel. 


It is like this... 

"When you're going to have a baby, it is like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guidebooks and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The Gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It is all very exciting.

After months of anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bag and off you go. Several hours later the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, 'Welcome to Holland'. 'Holland? ' you say. 'What do you mean Holland? I signed up for Italy! ! ! I am supposed to be in Italy. All my life I have dreamed of going to Italy! '.

But there has been a change in flight plans, they have landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they have not taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It is just a different place.

So you must go out and buy new guidebooks. And you must learn a new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met before. It is just a different place. It's slower paced than Italy. It's less flashy than Italy. But after you have been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills, Holland has tulips, and Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy and they are all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life you will say, 'Yes, that is where I was supposed to go, that's what I had planned'.

And the pain of that will never, ever go away, because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss, but if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't go to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things....
about Holland.
