QUESTIONS WORTH EXPLORING
Understand how you learn

What may be included
Academic skills and cognitive abilities, with other areas selected to address the referral question. The clinician selects measures for your questions; every evaluation does not use the same tests.
What you receive
A feedback conversation, written report, and practical recommendations. Findings do not guarantee a diagnosis, accommodations, or eligibility.
Fees and scope
Learning disability or twice-exceptionality evaluation: $5,250. The $250 clinical intake is credited toward the evaluation total. Exact scope is confirmed before testing.
THE CLINICAL PROCESS
From questions to recommendations.
- Clinical intake. Meet Dr. Cindy John by telehealth to discuss the evaluation.
- Individualized testing. Core testing takes place in Mission Viejo.
- Feedback and report. Discuss findings and recommendations. Dr. Colleen Long provides clinical-director review.
Private pay. BonPsy does not bill insurance; reimbursement is determined by your plan. Exact age eligibility and scheduling availability require practice confirmation.
PREPARE FOR YOUR CLINICAL INTAKE
Start with the learning question.
Describe the tasks that are difficult and the decisions you hope an evaluation will inform. You may have questions about reading, written work, mathematics, or an uneven pattern of strengths and difficulties. Bring those questions to the intake conversation so the clinician can discuss the appropriate scope.
Share what has already been tried
Tell your clinician about previous school or private evaluations and the supports already tried. Ask which records would be useful and how to provide them through the clinical intake process.
Discuss documentation requirements
If a school or another organization requested an evaluation, obtain its requirements before testing is planned. Explain how you intend to use the report, and ask what the evaluation can and cannot address.
Plan for participation
Ask about the number and length of appointments, preparation instructions, and any arrangements you need to participate comfortably. Your clinician can discuss these details with you before testing is scheduled.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Understand the next steps.
How much does the evaluation cost?
The published learning disability or twice-exceptionality evaluation fee is $5,250. Your $250 clinical intake is credited toward that total. Scope and total fees are confirmed before testing. BonPsy is private pay and does not bill insurance.
What if I already have a school evaluation?
Tell your clinician about it at intake and ask how to share it securely. Discuss what questions remain and what additional information you hope to gain before agreeing to further testing.
What will I receive?
Your evaluation includes a feedback conversation, a written report, and recommendations. Discuss the intended use of the findings during intake so it can inform the assessment plan.
Will a report guarantee school accommodations?
No. School teams and other receiving organizations make their own decisions about services, eligibility, and accommodations. Ask the receiving organization about its requirements before the evaluation is planned.
Learning disorder testing for Ladera Ranch families
Families may seek an evaluation when reading, writing, or math remains difficult despite effort and support. A psychoeducational evaluation examines learning strengths and needs and may help clarify questions about dyslexia, other learning disabilities, or twice-exceptionality. Share your school-related questions during the clinical intake so the clinician can select the appropriate assessment.
The written report can inform discussions with your child’s school. School teams and other institutions make their own decisions about services, eligibility, and accommodations.
Compare school evaluations and private psychological evaluations.
