Where this range comes from
This is an illustrative range, not a measured one. Editorial ranges compiled from general U.S. private-pay pricing that practices and family-advocacy organizations publish. They are not a statistical sample of Bay Area prices and are not tied to dated quotes. We have recorded 0 dated price observations for this evaluation so far; we'll replace the illustrative range once we have at least 5.
What changes the price?
Ask for a complete fee estimate
Before scheduling, ask whether the quoted price includes intake, testing, scoring, report writing, feedback, forms, school consultation, travel, and cancellation fees. Ask what could create additional charges.
Ways families may reduce cost
Request a school evaluation
Public school evaluations are free and determine special education eligibility, though their purpose and scope differ from private clinical testing.
Verify insurance benefits
Ask about medical necessity, authorization, in-network and out-of-network benefits, deductibles, and relevant billing codes.
Ask about focused scope
A clinician can explain whether a targeted evaluation can responsibly answer the question or whether comprehensive testing is needed.
Explore training clinics
University and nonprofit clinics may offer lower fees, often with services provided by supervised trainees.
