A psychological evaluation is more than a series of tests; it is a critical turning point in your child's development. At Knight Psychological Institute, we offer 5 tiers of assessment following a flat-fee structure which reflects our commitment to a 'no-stone-unturned' approach. We don't work by the hour or by the insurance code—we work until we have the answers you need to the specific questions you have.
Focus: Identification of high intellectual potential and asynchronous developmental needs.
Includes: Comprehensive IQ/cognitive battery.
Best For: Children seeking placement in accelerated school programs, "highly gifted" tracks, or private schools requiring IQ documentation for admission.
Focus: Targeted clarification of internalizing disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related concerns.
Includes: Specialized social-emotional & behavioral rating scales and in-depth clinical interviews
Best For: Families seeking a clear diagnosis to guide private therapy, coordinate medication management with physician, or obtain school-based emotional support.
Focus: Objective measurement of the brain's "management system"—isolating attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning.
Includes: IQ/Cognitive testing, continuous performance test for objective attention data , and specialized executive functioning rating scales.
Best For: Students who meet grade-level standards but struggle with focus or organization, and those seeking 504 Plan accommodations or clinical treatment planning.
Focus: In-depth investigation of learning disorders, cognitive processing, and the "why" behind academic struggles.
Includes: Comprehensive IQ/Cognitive battery, full achievement testing (Reading, Writing, Math), and social-emotional screening. Note: ADHD/Executive Functioning components are included only as relevant to the referral question.
Best For: Children struggling with specific subjects (e.g., Dyslexia), students needing evaluation to support advocacy for an IEP (Individualized Education Program), or families seeking verification for state approved funding.
Focus: A gold-standard investigation into social communication, sensory processing, and neurodevelopmental patterns.
Includes: Observational assessment (ADOS-2), in-depth autism rating scales, and full cognitive/IQ battery, and Academic Achievement screening to identify the "whole-child" profile.
Best For: Children with social-emotional or communication differences, families seeking insurance-funded specialized therapies, and students requiring verification for state-approved funding.
We don’t believe in ‘over-testing.’ Because your child is more than just a data point, we customize every evaluation to meet their specific developmental needs. By focusing our expertise on the areas that matter most to your family—rather than a one-size-fits-all battery—we ensure you receive the deepest insights and the highest return on your investment
Regardless of the tier selected, every family receives a consistent, high-standard clinical experience:
Clinical Intake: A deep-dive session to review developmental history and specific concerns.
Testing Session(s): Direct 1-on-1 assessment with the child. Duration and tools vary by tier (from brief interviews to full-day cognitive/academic batteries).
Analysis & Integration: Expert scoring and synthesis of all data into a formal, professional report.
Feedback Session: A dedicated meeting to explain results, answer questions, and provide a clear "Roadmap" for next steps.
Final Report: A comprehensive written document containing all scores, diagnostic conclusions, and personalized recommendations for home and school.
Choose Focused / Brief Diagnostic if you are seeking a clinical diagnosis for a pediatrician or therapist to address concerns regarding Anxiety, Depression, or Mood.
Choose Comprehensive ADHD if your child is meeting grade-level standards but struggles with attention, hyperactivity, or executive functioning, and you require objective data for a treatment plan or 504 accommodations.
Choose Psychoeducational if you want a "Deep Dive" into the whole child. This is for families who want to go beyond a simple label to understand the "gears" of learning—identifying exactly how a child processes information, confirming Learning Disorders (like Dyslexia), and uncovering the root cause of academic or emotional "stuck points."
Choose Autism Comprehensive if there are concerns regarding social communication, sensory processing, or repetitive behaviors, and you require a gold-standard diagnostic profile for insurance-funded therapy, state-funded supports, or specialized school programming.
