Knowing what to expect makes it easier.

Consider an evaluation if your child is struggling with learning, attention, emotions, or behavior, or if you simply need clearer information to guide decisions at home or school.

Neuropsychological evaluations are more comprehensive. They assess cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning together to understand the underlying reasons for a child's difficulties, not just whether they qualify for a service.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Under some circumstances, I conduct adult evaluations as well. The approach is always tailored to a person's age, stage, and the questions their family is trying to answer.

The standard process takes about two weeks from start to finish, and can occasionally be expedited within a single week under special circumstances. It includes four to five appointments in total: an initial intake, the testing sessions, and a feedback meeting to review the results and recommendations, along with a detailed written report.

We meet for a feedback session to talk through the findings in plain language, and you receive a detailed written report with practical recommendations for home and school. Ongoing support is available whenever new questions come up.

Fees typically range from $3,500 to $8,500, depending on the type of evaluation and where testing takes place. I'll go over specific pricing during our initial intake call, so you know exactly what to expect before anything begins.

I don't accept direct insurance payments, but I am an out-of-network provider and will gladly supply a comprehensive superbill you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I recommend contacting your provider beforehand to verify your out-of-network benefits for neuropsychological evaluations.

The office is in Pennington, New Jersey, with appointments also available in Midtown Manhattan. The practice serves families across New Jersey and New York City, drawing on deep familiarity with the school systems in both states.

If appropriate, a diagnosis will be provided. The primary focus, though, is on understanding your child's unique profile and needs.

Usually, yes, for part of the day. Testing sessions are typically scheduled in the morning, when children are most alert and rested, so your child may miss a portion of the school day.

Explain that they'll be doing a series of puzzles, games, and learning activities that help me understand how their brain works best. Make sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a hearty breakfast, and bring anything they need, such as glasses or medication.

Yes. With your permission, I communicate with school teams, take part in meetings, and provide recommendations for accommodations and supports.

Reach out for a conversation. Tell me a little about your child and what's on your mind, and I'll help you understand whether an evaluation makes sense, and what it would look like for your family.
