Evaluation Services
At The LEAP Clinic, we specialize in providing comprehensive evaluations tailored to each child's unique needs. Our evaluations can provide diagnostic clarification, but most importantly, they can help families understand their child's unique patterns of strengths and needs as they relate to social, emotional, cognitive, and academic development. We specialize in assessments for neurodevelopmental disorders including intellectual disabilities, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning disorders. These evaluations can also assess other emotional and behavioral challenges, to help families understand their child's whole development and create strategies to support their growth and well-being.
Because each evaluation is tailored to your child's needs, a range of fees is provided below for different types of evaluations. We provide a free 15-minute consultation call to help each family understand what type of testing will best meet their family's needs.
