Evaluation Process and Fees

 

Parent/caregiver interview

An interview designed to obtain information regarding the child’s medical, academic, psychological, and social history is held.

Completion of clinical forms

Dr. Whitman will ask both parents and 1-2 teachers to fill out several standardized clinical forms.

A flexible testing schedule that is tailored to needs of the child

Dr. Whitman performs all aspects of face-to-face testing herself. Testing is typically scheduled over the course of one to two days. At times, a third or fourth testing day is necessary. There are no changes in charges/fees in the event that a child needs fewer/more days or more/less time to complete testing than originally planned.

Phone consultation with teachers and current providers

Dr. Whitman believes that it is crucial to obtain the perspective of professionals who work with the child on a regular basis.

Feedback session with parents within 2-3 weeks of testing

Dr. Whitman strives to inform parents/guardians of conclusions and recommendations in a timely manner. If/when appropriate, a feedback session will be held with the child.

Written report completed within 4 weeks of last testing session

Dr. Whitman aims to compose streamlined neuropsychological reports.

Referrals

Dr. Whitman attempts to provide referrals for all recommended follow up services.

Fees/Insurance

There is a flat fee for the standard neuropsychological evaluation process (parent/caregiver interview, 5-8 hours of face-to-face testing, scoring, teacher/therapist consultation, parent feedback session, and written report). Services that fall outside of the standard evaluation process (e.g., classroom observation requested by a third party, additional feedbacks, attorney consultation, and teacher/school meetings that take place after the feedback session) are billed hourly.
