[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's my question - we don't have $5K to spend, and my DD has no signs of any attention disorders, she just can't read/write well and struggles with math. We live in Falls Church, would love recommendations on what to do/where to go. We don't even want to bother with getting a school assessment.[/quote] The bulk of the cost of testing is the aptitude (WISC-V) and ability (WJ-IV, WIAT-IV, etc) measures, supplemental reading and math assessments and some basic neuropsychological tests are also pretty key. Some practices have a set battery for these, others will choose tests based on presenting issues and early test results. The assessments for anxiety, depression, and ASD are basically self reports and only a fraction of the cost of the assessment at any location, but they are essential to rule out other confounding factors. In DC the lowest price I have seen recently is in the low 2000's the highest is around 6000. Most are in the middle. Signed - A Psychologist who does assessments[/quote]
