Will my old high school evaluation work? Usually no. Testing boards typically require evaluations by licensed psychologists (not school psychologists) with comprehensive cognitive and achievement testing. School IEP evaluations rarely meet these requirements.
I had accommodations in college. Do I still need testing? Yes. Even with college accommodations, testing boards require independent neuropsychological documentation for their exams.
How much does testing cost? Comprehensive evaluations for test accommodations range from $4,800-$6,800 depending on complexity. This includes all testing, report preparation, credentials, and feedback.
Can you guarantee I'll get accommodations? No provider can guarantee approval. testing boards make the final decision. However, our comprehensive evaluations meet documentation standards and clearly articulate functional impact, maximizing approval likelihood.
