Evaluations
Your child is struggling in school…
and it may not be their fault.
You've tried tutoring, extra help, and more practice — but nothing seems to actually fix the problem.
In many cases, the real issue simply hasn't been identified yet.
No pressure. Just a quick call to see if this is the right next step.
Does any of this sound like your child?
These are common signs we see before parents realize something deeper may be going on.
Struggles to read fluently or understand what they read — even with practice
Falling behind in math or struggling with basic concepts
Gets frustrated easily, shuts down, or avoids schoolwork
Takes much longer than expected to complete assignments
Tutoring helps briefly… but the problems keep coming back
Clearly smart — but can't seem to show it in their schoolwork
Dreads school, complains often, or says they "hate school"
Teachers say to "try harder" — but trying harder isn't working
If you're noticing several of these… it's often a sign something deeper is being missed.
It's often not about effort — or attitude.
Many children who struggle in school are working incredibly hard — and trying their best. When a child keeps hitting a wall despite real effort, it's often a sign something in how their brain processes information is making things harder than it should be.
Reading difficulties, attention challenges, processing speed differences, or working memory challenges are all common — and they respond well to the right kind of support. But the key is this: you can't choose the right support until you understand what's actually going on.
That's exactly what a comprehensive evaluation is designed to uncover.
"Once we understood why our son was struggling, everything changed. For the first time, we knew how to help him — the right way."
— Parent of an 8-year-old, Hoover, AL
Here's exactly how we help you get answers
Simple, clear, and designed to give you answers quickly — without pressure or guesswork.
Step 01
Start with a quick call
Reach out by phone or through this page. We'll have a brief, no-pressure conversation to understand what you're noticing and see if this is the right next step.
Step 02
Most families start here
Diagnostic Intake — $230
This is a one-on-one session with a licensed psychologist to understand your child's history, challenges, and symptoms. We determine exactly what — if anything — needs to be evaluated, and walk you through a clear plan. You'll also receive a Good Faith Estimate of any costs before moving forward. Most parents leave this session finally understanding what's going on — and what to do next.
Not every child needs a full evaluation — and if they don't, we'll tell you upfront.
Step 03
Get clear answers and a plan
After the intake, you'll understand what's going on and exactly what to do next — whether that's testing, school support, or other options. In many cases, you'll leave the intake with immediate clarity on next steps.
Step 04
Evaluation & detailed report (if needed)
If a full evaluation is recommended, we complete it in a child-friendly environment and provide a detailed report with clear explanations, diagnoses (if applicable), and practical recommendations you can actually use.
Good Faith Estimate
Before any testing begins, you'll receive a clear written estimate of total costs.
No surprises. No hidden fees. You'll know the full cost before making any decisions. You stay in control every step of the way.
