Yes. NBCG provides psychological and neuropsychological testing for children, teens, and adults. Testing for children often focuses on ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and school-related challenges. Adult testing commonly addresses ADHD, anxiety and mood disorders, cognitive decline, memory loss, mild cognitive impairment, dementia screening, and traumatic brain injury.

ADHD diagnosis at NBCG involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes standardized rating scales, clinical interviews with the patient and — for children — parents and teachers, and direct cognitive testing to assess attention, working memory, and executive functioning. We look at the full picture rather than relying on a single questionnaire, which leads to more accurate diagnosis and better treatment recommendations.

An autism evaluation at NBCG typically includes a clinical interview, review of developmental history, standardized autism-specific assessments, behavioral observation, and caregiver input. For children, we may also gather information from teachers or school staff. The goal is not just to confirm or rule out autism, but to understand your child's unique strengths and challenges so we can recommend the most effective supports and interventions.

Yes. Adult autism evaluations are available at NBCG. Many adults seek an autism diagnosis after years of feeling different or struggling in ways they couldn't explain — and a formal evaluation can provide clarity, validation, and access to appropriate supports. Our psychologists are experienced in recognizing how autism presents in adults, which can look quite different from how it presents in children.

A psychoeducational evaluation assesses how a child learns — including cognitive abilities, academic achievement, processing speed, working memory, and language skills. It helps identify learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and auditory processing disorder, and provides a clear picture of a child's strengths and areas of need. At NBCG, these evaluations are conducted by doctoral-level psychologists and include a detailed report with school-ready recommendations.

School-based evaluations are valuable but are typically limited in scope — schools assess whether a child qualifies for services, not necessarily what is driving the difficulty. NBCG's independent psychological evaluations are more comprehensive, include a broader range of assessments, and result in a detailed diagnostic report. Many families seek an independent evaluation to get a fuller picture or a second opinion, especially when school testing hasn't led to clear answers or appropriate support.

For best results, arrive well-rested and having eaten. Bring any prior evaluation reports, school records, or relevant medical history. For children's evaluations, parents should be prepared to participate in an interview and complete rating forms about their child's behavior and development. If you take medication, continue your normal routine unless instructed otherwise by your evaluating psychologist. There is no need to "study" — testing is designed to capture your genuine current functioning.

Many major insurance plans cover psychological and neuropsychological testing when it is medically necessary. NBCG accepts most major insurance including SelectHealth, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Regence, Meritain Health, Samera Health, Tricare, PEHP, Molina Healthcare, Medicaid, GEHA, Vitori, and EMI Health. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and the type of evaluation requested. We recommend calling your insurance provider in advance to ask about your benefits for psychological testing.
