FAQ

Straightforward answers.

If your question isn’t here, the consultation is the right place to ask it.

What is a psychoeducational evaluation?

An in-depth look at how someone thinks, learns, and functions — typically combining cognitive testing, academic testing, and measures of attention or social-emotional wellbeing. It’s used to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, and other factors affecting school performance.

How long does an evaluation take?

Testing is generally completed across 2–3 sessions. The full process from intake to final report typically takes 8–10 weeks, depending on complexity.

Do you accept insurance?

Private pay only. Wayfinder does not accept insurance or write superbills.

What are the fees? Is there a sliding scale?

Pricing depends on the case. Contact the practice to talk through scope and cost.

What areas do you serve?

In-person services are based in and around Campbell, CA. Telehealth is available to clients anywhere in California.

Is this different from testing done at school?

Private evaluations provide a comprehensive view of strengths and areas for growth, and can explain why a student is struggling — including a diagnosis when appropriate. School-based evaluations are free. They do not provide a diagnosis; they consider eligibility for special education services.

Will an evaluation automatically result in an IEP?

No. A private evaluation can provide valuable information about learning and developmental needs, but eligibility for special education is determined by the school district through its own process.
