Neuropsychological Testing for Children, Teens, and Young Adults in Massachusetts

Currently accepting new testing clients — no waitlist.

When something feels off — school is harder than it should be, emotions feel bigger, or your child’s strengths aren’t matching their performance — a neuropsychological evaluation can give your family real answers.

I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological testing for ages 6 and up. Evaluations clarify attention, learning, cognitive strengths, emotional functioning, and behavior, and translate those findings into a practical roadmap for school, treatment, and home.

What I Test For

Evaluations are individualized to each person. Common referral questions include:

  • ADHD and executive functioning

  • Autism spectrum disorders

  • Dyslexia and other learning disabilities

  • Giftedness and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation

  • Personality disorders

  • Behavioral challenges at home or school

  • Cognitive strengths and intellectual ability

Many families come to me after a school evaluation left questions unanswered, after a prior diagnosis didn’t quite fit, or when a child’s complexity has been difficult to explain. I specialize in nuanced, layered presentations where learning, giftedness, and emotional functioning intersect.

Cognitive Testing for Independent School Admissions

Many independent schools in the Greater Boston area require an IQ assessment (typically the WISC-V) as part of their admissions process. This is a straightforward, focused evaluation: one testing session, a clear score report, and a parent feedback meeting. It does not include the broader clinical intake, collateral consultation, or detailed diagnostic report that comes with a comprehensive evaluation.

Reports are typically available within two weeks of testing. If your child’s school requires a specific test format or form, just let me know when you reach out.

I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider. I do not bill insurance directly. I provide a detailed superbill so families with PPO plans or out-of-network benefits can seek reimbursement from their insurance carrier — often 50–80% of the allowed amount after the deductible.

I’m happy to provide a written fee estimate you can share with your insurer to check your benefits before we begin. Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask about out-of-network benefits for neuropsychological testing. To estimate your reimbursement rate, use this free calculator.

How It Works

  1. Free 20-minute Phone Consultation: We discuss your concerns and determine whether testing is the right next step. No obligation.

  2. Comprehensive Intake: I gather developmental, educational, medical, and family history.

  3. School Observation: If indicated, I schedule a time to observe your child in school.

  4. In-office Testing Sessions: Standardized assessment tailored to your child’s referral questions. Typically 1-2 sessions.

  5. Collateral Input: With your permission, I gather information from teachers and other providers.

  6. Written Report: A clear, thorough document for your family, school, and any other providers involved in your child’s care.

  7. Feedback Session: We review findings, patterns, and recommendations together.

Why Families Seek Private Neuropsychological Evaluations

Families often pursue private evaluations when:

  • Concerns are complex or longstanding

  • Previous answers haven’t felt complete

  • School evaluations feel limited in scope

  • Long waitlists for testing make it difficult to get answers quickly

  • Clarity is needed for decision-making

  • Emotional, learning, and attention factors overlap

  • A child has high ability but is struggling

    Parents want a comprehensive understanding — not just eligibility determination.

    Private neuropsychological testing provides an in-depth, individualized perspective focused on the whole child.

School Collaboration and Educational Planning

With experience working within public school systems, I understand how evaluations are used to support educational decision-making. Reports are written to be clear, practical, and meaningful for schools and families alike.

Recommendations may support:

  • IEP or 504 planning

  • Classroom accommodations

  • Learning interventions

  • School placement decisions

  • Gifted programming

  • Executive functioning support

  • Emotional and behavioral intervention
