We do assessments in the home via zoom as well as computerized tests for ADD and ADHD. Call for details or read below. .
Many parents have suspected their children may have attention issues and wish to have them tested. As a clinical psychologist I offer standard tests that are approved by schools and insurance companies. I also go over family history and give questioners that are administered to teachers and parents to get a more comprehensive view of what is going on with their child. Insurance will pay for these services even when we do them remotely in the home.
NOTE: All tests are verified and scored for validity (reliability) based of normative data basis.
(That is compared children that DO NOT have attention issues). These are tools that have been used for years, and results are compared with those of your child's age and gender.
REMOTE (IN THE HOME) BASIC ASSESSMENT FOR ADD/ADHD leading to an official diagnoses.
Our remote evaluations include:
- Standardized tests approved by schools and insurance companies.
- Behavioral checklists for parents and teachers.
- Tests of cognitive and reaction time abilities done on your computer at home remotely. I supervise this test visually via my cell phone and yours or Zoom.
- Family history and family dynamics that may be affecting behavior.
- An authoritative final report to present to the school or other settings.(also done by a clinical psychologist)) that you can keep.
Cost without insurance $500.00
This includes: An approximately 1 hour initial meeting; 1 hour of testing; evaluation of all test results; and final follow up and full report.
The cost with insurance would depend on co-pays and deductibles. We can work with your provider and let you know what costs will be.
ADVANCED NEUROLOGICAL BRAIN MAPPING
A qEEG (Brain map) is a way assessing the brain waves of a child or adult. It is the gold standard in seeing what all major brain waves are doing and help in assessing why some behavior may be present.
This is done before we start neurofeedback, but can be done separately for a separate fee for children or adults. Full report is included.
We strive to give an honest assessment of your child. We do not like labels, but sometimes they are necessary. Our evaluations will take in all of the global factors mentioned above and present you with a straightforward report and evaluation. In addition, I have worked with children for over 15 years in my practice.
All tests and assessments reports will be done by Donald Magder, MA. LLP Clinical Psychologist.
