The psychologist will first conduct an in-depth interview with the parent(s) before meeting with the student. Afterward, the psychologist will meet with the student over a series of appointments involving semi-structured interviews, standardized testing, and academic performance evaluation. Following the review of school report cards, previous assessment reports, results of questionnaires, and standardized testing, a report will be finalized. The psychologist will then meet with the parents virtually or in-person to discuss the results and recommendations.

 

Fees for the assessment cover both direct and indirect services. Direct services typically involve scheduled in-person or virtual appointments, while indirect services include scoring time, interpretation of test results, and report preparation. A combined autism and psycho-educational assessment usually takes approximately 20 hours to complete, including both direct and indirect service hours. Occasionally, a student may require additional testing hours. The duration of assessment varies as some individuals may take longer to complete testing than others. Services provided by our psychologists are based on an hourly rate of $240.00.
