We specialize in cognitive, learning, and ADHD evaluations,

​

​At this time, BCBH does not provide evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorders, or primary psychiatric diagnostic evaluations. 

 

Testing (also known as psychological, psycho-educational, neuropsychological, and developmental assessment) is a way to evaluate an individual’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to their cognitive abilities (e.g., information progressing, problem-solving), social abilities, and adaptive abilities (e.g., degree of age-appropriate independence).  The goals of testing are to develop personally tailored strategies for improving success across home and school/work environments.

 

*Note that all testing services are conducted in person in our office. Feedback sessions may be provided via telehealth upon request. ​

 

Neuropsychological Testing utilizes tasks that have been designed to measure specific aspects of cognition and behavior, including examining the effects of any brain injury or medical illness that a person may have experienced.  Aspects of cognitive functioning that may be assessed include (but are not limited to): learning, reasoning, memory, intelligence, language, visual spatial abilities, executive functioning, processing speed, and attention.​ This comprehensive testing is recommended for individuals seeking more detailed understanding of cognitive strengths and weaknesses, as well as individualized learning strategies, and/or for individuals with multiple areas of clinical concern, when academic testing is not required

​

• Approximate Cost Estimate: ~$2,000 (does not include academic testing)

• Please note this estimate includes a clinical interview, collection of standardized symptom questionnaires, face-to-face neuropsychological testing, integrated report preparation, and a feedback session. Actual time spent for testing may vary based on your specific needs/time involved.

​​​​​

Psycho-Educational Testing provides an assessment of an individual’s innate ability to learn, alongside an assessment of their specific learning and performance in an educational setting (i.e., school).  It is a means to better understand an individual’s ability to acquire academically based knowledge, and may provide information about specific learning deficits or barriers to academic achievement in the school setting.

 

This comprehensive evaluation is useful in determining and documenting the presence of ADHD, learning disabilities,  like dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, or in documenting the impacts of psychiatric and/or medical conditions on learning and performance. The detail of this evaluation can provide support for requests for academic accommodations at an individual’s learning institution or when applying for accommodations for nationally normed standardized tests and entrance exams.​​

​

• Approximate Cost Estimate: ~$3,000

• Please note this estimate includes a clinical interview, collection of standardized symptom questionnaires, face-to-face cognitive and academic testing, integrated report preparation, and a feedback session. Additional testing exploring memory, auditory processing, visual perceptual skills, processing speed/fluency, and attention, may be included. Actual time spent for testing may vary based on your specific needs/time involved.

​

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Evaluations assess for the presence of ADHD symptoms. If ADHD is a primary concern, we can provide abbreviated testing that is targeted specifically to evaluate the symptoms of ADHD. If other concerns are identified through this testing, additional neuropsychological or psycho-educational testing may be recommended. 

​

This abbreviated testing is designed to provide diagnostic clarity regarding ADHD to inform clinical understanding of current challenges and direct individuals towards appropriate interventions/supports.​​

​

• Approximate Cost Estimate: ~$1,200

• Please note this estimate includes a clinical interview, collection of standardized symptom questionnaires, brief cognitive testing, integrated report preparation, and a feedback session. Actual time spent for testing may vary based on your specific needs.

​

Developmental Testing (Dr. Craig only) assesses a child’s development relative to their broader peer group.  It can provide an estimate of whether a child is on target with expected milestones in the areas of language, motor skills, social/emotional functioning, and adaptive behaviors including everyday life skills and behaviors such as toileting and self-care.  Developmental testing is typically appropriate for children ranging in age from infancy through age 5, although older children who are experiencing delays or plateaus in their development may also benefit. 

​.​​

• Approximate Cost Estimate: ~$1,500 (without classroom observations and teacher consultation)) - $1,900 (with classroom observations and teacher consultation)

• Please note this estimate includes a clinical interview, collection of standardized symptom questionnaires, brief cognitive testing, integrated report preparation, and a feedback session, with optional classroom observations and a 30-minute teacher consultation. Actual time spent for testing may vary based on your specific needs.
