What if "difficult behavior" is actually communication?

Sometimes, what looks like defiance, meltdowns, or social withdrawal is actually a brain-based struggle with executive function, sensory processing, or emotional regulation. A neuropsychological evaluation helps you look under the hood to understand the "why" behind the behavior.

The Benefits:

Move from discipline to support: Understand if behavior is a "can't" rather than a "won't."

Targeted Strategies: Get a custom toolkit of interventions that actually work for your child's unique brain.

Reduced Frustration: Create a more peaceful home and school environment by addressing the root cause.

Stop managing the symptoms and start understanding the person.

Is your phone "protecting" you from us?

We’ve noticed a bit of a digital hiccup lately! It seems some cellular providers are getting a little over-zealous with their spam filters. We are returning every call, but some of our messages are being diverted straight to the "junk" folder of the phone world.

If you’re expecting a call from us and haven't heard back:

*Check your Voicemail: Our team always leaves a detailed message if we miss you!

*Peek at the "Blocked/Spam" folder: Sometimes our office line gets flagged by carrier algorithms by mistake.

*Add us to your contacts: Saving our number ensures we bypass the filters and get straight to you.

We value your time and don't want your questions going unanswered. Give your voicemail a quick refresh—we’re likely waiting for you there!

Understanding how the brain works isn't just for scientists—it's for anyone looking for answers. Whether you’re noticing patterns in yourself or your child, a neuropsychological evaluation can be the key to unlocking a clearer path forward.

Why Neuropsychological Evaluation?

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when memory, attention, or behavior feels "off." An evaluation goes beyond surface-level observations to look at the why behind the challenges. It’s about finding a roadmap for:

Learning Styles: Identifying how a student actually processes information.
Executive Functioning: Understanding the "air traffic control" system of the brain.
Behavioral Clarity: Distinguishing between emotional needs and neurological patterns.

No Pranks, Just Clarity:
Since today is April 1st, we want to be very clear: this is not an April Fools’ joke. We know that navigating brain health and cognitive challenges is a serious journey. Our goal is to provide the data-driven insights you need to move from confusion to confidence. No tricks—just the power of neuropsychology to help your child Thrive.

Understanding the Costs of a Neuropsychological Evaluation

If you or a loved one are considering a neuropsychological evaluation, navigating insurance coverage can sometimes feel overwhelming. One of the most important steps you can take before scheduling your appointment is to contact your insurance provider directly.

We highly recommend asking your insurance representative for a direct cost comparison between in-network and out-of-network providers.

Here are a few key questions to ask when you call:
• Do I have out-of-network benefits for neuropsychological testing?
• What is my deductible, and has it been met for the year?
• What percentage of the evaluation cost will be covered if I see an out-of-network provider versus an in-network provider?
• Is pre-authorization required before the evaluation?

Don’t let long waiting lists hold you back. We offer expedited scheduling and provide full superbill documentation post-evaluation. Most clients use this to secure partial reimbursement from their insurance providers, giving you the best of both worlds: immediate care and financial flexibility.

Understanding these details upfront empowers you to make the best financial and healthcare decisions for your family. If you have any questions about our specific billing practices or need the billing codes (CPT codes) to provide to your insurance company, please don't hesitate to reach out to our office!

✅ We know there is a big increase in autism diagnoses

✅ We know the *biggest* increase in autism diagnosis is in adults

✅ We know Autism is primarily genetic (80%+ according to twin studies), and this can include de Novo mutations

✅ We know the diagnostic criteria for autism has broadened significantly since it was first identified

✅ We know autism awareness and acceptance continues to grow, including the fact that autism is more than stereotypes

❌ What we don’t know (for sure) is if there are actually more Autistic people in the world- or if just more people who are autistic are accessing a diagnosis.

And yet, so many people are ignoring all of the facts we DO know and at the same time, pretending the last statement is a scientifically known fact- when it’s not.

Now, do I personally think there are more Autistic people now than there was 100 years ago? I actually do. I also think the biggest reason for the increase in autism prevalence is increased knowledge (which we still have a long way to go) as well as *some* decreased stigma (also have a long way to go). And as a result, I predict the prevalence will continue to increase, and this will be expected and not a “crisis”.

This hits the nail on the head!

Waiting to see if your child will “ grow out out of” a behavior, a delay, or pattern, increases the risk of persistent lifelong challenges.

You have the right to request a referral!

Have questions or concerns about your child’s development? Contact us today! We can help answer those questions and recommend appropriate interventions that can improve the trajectory of your child and family.

Another day, another family telling me their doctor told them to wait and see 😭😭😭 AND this one was a 17 month old boy with signs of autism AND an Autistic sibling. And the doctor said wait until *3 years old* to get evaluated for speech 😡🤬

Whyyyyyyyy make this child wait for support for a year and a half?!? Nope nope nope.

If someone tells you to wait and see- please 1) see a specialist, and 2) if a specialist tells you this and you aren’t comfortable with it, get another opinion!

Note: I recognize many people are on long waiting lists and seeing messages like this are confusing and overwhelming. I see you. This post is aimed towards providers, and also families who could have access to support, or need access to waitlists. It’s also true that when parents are told to “wait” they may not take a delay seriously and not seek support via social media or parent education during this waiting period either. Therpay isn’t the only option and there is LOTS parents can learn free online! ❤️❤️❤️
