About ChildEvaluation

Organized around the questions parents start with.

Parents begin with a question about their child, not a billing code or a credential. ChildEvaluation connects what you notice to the evaluations that address it, the professionals who perform them, local options, cost, and insurance.

Clinical contributors

Contributors share clinical perspective on what families ask and how evaluations work in practice. A guide lists a clinical reviewer only when that person has reviewed it.

How we work

Separate evidence from promotion

Payment never sets provider order or editorial conclusions.

Show who reviewed what

A guide names a clinical reviewer, with credentials and a review date, only after that review has happened.

Publish useful pages

We don't index empty or thin location pages just because a database can generate them.

Correct transparently

We fix material errors promptly and note significant changes.
