Does my child have a learning disability such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia?
-
Dyslexia is so much more than the common misconception of letter or number reversals. Children with dyslexia can have trouble sounding out and blending words. They often have phonemic awareness difficulties. Sight words don't seem to stick, even though they may be able to pass their spelling tests. In other types of dyslexia, sounding out words is not the problem, instead, they rush through and mistake the first letter of a word for a visually similar word. For children with dyslexia, reading comprehension often suffers because they misread and substitute many common words for other words (e.g., these for tree).
-
Dysgraphia is a disorder of written language. Children with dysgraphia have difficulty with letter formations, often misspell the same word different ways, frequent cross outs, upper case mixed with lower case letters, handwriting is sloppy or illegible, and they express frustration with the writing process.
-
Dyscalcula is a math disorder. Children may have difficulty learning their math facts, reverse their numbers (sometimes not always), and have trouble with math story problems.
We conduct testing for dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or dyscalculia to find out why a child is struggling academically and provide you with interventions on what steps to take next.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
There are 3 subtypes of ADHD:
ADHD Inattentive Type (formerly known as ADD)
ADHD Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
ADHD Combined Type (Inattentive, Hyperactive, Impulsive symptoms combined)
Some common symptoms include trouble focusing, inattentive, forgetful, daydreaming, or even "lazy" and "unmotivated". These are some terms used to describe this condition. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed before the age of 7, but if you have a mild version you may have gone through grade school and even most of your life without a formal diagnosis. The inattentive type is commonly known as ADD, but it's actually an outdated term, the correct form is "ADHD Inattentive Type". It's defined by having difficulty with focus, a short attention span, difficulty starting and completing work. Add in fidgeting, difficulty sitting still, restlessness, and overactive, interrupting others, impulsive, or "always on the go" and that describes the hyperactive-inattentive type.
So how do you know if you need to be tested? If your symptoms are interfering with your daily life (e.g., work, school, home) and they are bothersome to you, then it may be worth testing. Our Katy psychologists conduct testing screenings for ADD/ADHD. More comprehensive testing for ADD/ADHD when a differential diagnosis may be needed or if you need a current evaluation to justify ACT, SAT, GRE, or LSAT accommodations (see ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation below).
多動症評估
可以通過良好的臨床訪談，計算機性能測試（CPT）以及父母，老師和/或配偶的意見來評估DHD。我們將獲取您的完整背景歷史記錄，當前關注的問題，並評估執行人員的運作技能（能夠預先計劃，保持對任務的關注，組織，完成任務等）。您將獲得帶有診斷的正式書面報告（如果適用） ），並根據您的具體需求提供建議。對於入學年齡的孩子，這可能會導致教室環境內的住宿。
ADHD測試可以在4歲到成人之間進行。
進行首次診斷性面試後，多動症評估的費用從$ 355起。
多動症綜合評估
有時需要更多信息。執行功能缺陷在ADHD患者中很常見。對於那些想要更詳細地了解自己的弱點是什麼以及如何使自己變得更好的人，建議對工作記憶，持續的注意力，組織能力，處理速度，情感功能和解決問題進行更深入的檢查。如果孩子們需要在學校為他們提供個性化的教育計劃，或者對於需要特殊文件來進行SAT / ACT考試或進入大學的高中/大學生，則正式測試也很有用。 （大學董事會有特定的考試要求。凱蒂心理服務部僅使用董事會接受的考試）。
定價範圍取決於測試所需的小時數。範圍從$ 500到$ 1500。您花費的金額取決於您要進行多少測試。測試越全面，範圍就越大。
Note: ADHD evaluations and testing for learning disabilities are not a covered benefit under insurance plans. Please check with your specific plan for details. We can provide you with a detailed medical receipt to seek reimbursement for any "out of network" benefits you can claim from your insurance provider if/when applicable. The pricing reflects an individually tailored evaluation, and we will work with you as much as we possibly can to meet your budget. We also accept most HSA cards.
