Because we are a part of the SMart Center, we fall under the SMart Center’s insurance policy. To help facilitate the conversation with your insurer view the coding guide HERE.

Yes, we treat children, teens and adults of all ages. We treat children as young as 18 months.

The length of testing depends on the type of evaluation being conducted, the individual’s age, and the identified concerns as well as possible breaks during assessments.

For young children, it’s recommended to do no more than 2 hours of testing at a time so it is best in these cases to break an evaluation up over a few days or to include breaks.

Generally, full-battery evaluations take 5 to 8 hours and usually occur over multiple days as we may uncover new areas to explore as we render the full-battery evaluation. Diagnostic rule-outs generally take 3 to 4 hours to complete. Reports after evaluations will be ready within 30 days after the administration of the testing. 

If you have more specific questions on treatment length, we encourage you to give us a call at +1(215)-887-5748

Yes, we can do both counseling and testing virtually. Please visit our Telehealth landing page to see if your state is eligible.

We ask that you give us as much notice as possible prior to a scheduled consult if it needs to be rescheduled or cancelled and no less than 24 hours’ notice. Our center sends appointment reminder emails. With notice, professional time reserved for you can be given to someone on a waiting list.

If we receive less than 24 hours’ notice that an appointment needs to be rescheduled, the consult payment is still due as previously scheduled. No show appointments, unless a sudden emergency occurs where documentation can be provided, are not acceptable and payment is required for the no-show appointment. 

Assessments are one-on-one with your provider. While we cannot test two individuals at once, we can schedule both on the same day and even at the same time with two different clinicians.

If there is a general concern regarding difficulties with attention and focus, emotional functioning, learning or memory, and/or behavior, it is best to address it as early as possible. We recommend you call our office and speak to a clinician to better understand your circumstances.

Depending on the condition, assessments may not need to be repeated after receiving care and resolving the challenge. Conditions like Autism, however, use re-evaluations as measures of progress over time. If you feel that a previous assessment wasn’t truly representative of your situation then or at present given changes, then re-testing is appropriate to consider.

For special education purposes, re-evaluations are required at least once every 3 years.  

A diagnostic evaluation is a targeted evaluation designed to evaluate for one specific condition. These evaluations are designed to answer a specific diagnostic question, and are not intended to be comprehensive in nature. They are most appropriate for preschool-age children, or those who have already had a comprehensive evaluation and need follow-up testing for a specific area of concern. If seeking a comprehensive evaluation to address an unclear concern or multiple concerns, a full-battery evaluation may be a better option.  

It is helpful to bring relevant previous records. This may include past evaluations, the child’s most recent IEP (if applicable), the child’s most recent report card or standardized test results, or relevant medical records. Electronic copies of records can be sent via our secure portal.

We also recommend bringing snacks and drinks. For lengthier evaluations, the individual will be given a break for lunch. Individuals may bring their own lunch, or go to one of the many local restaurants.

Some individuals like to bring an activity for breaks, such as an iPad, tablet, or a preferred toy which helps to maintain their motivation during the testing. Individuals may also bring “comfort” items, such as small stuffed animals or fidgets. For ADOS2 evaluations, please bring a snack as part of the assessment.  

Our evaluations are completed under a licensed psychologist, so schools should accept the results we provide from testing. However, we cannot dictate what a school will do. Not all schools are required to implement any or all of the results and recommendations given. Some schools may request to do their own evaluation or implement alternative interventions. Families who would like assistance in getting their child’s school to implement recommendations or interventions should consult with an educational advocate. 

Yes, we are happy to contract with school districts to provide needed assessment services for students.  Please contact us to share about your student’s situation and your professional needs so we can determine the best service to meet your needs.  We accept purchase orders and/or signed contracts. 

It would be great if both parents could attend the evaluation. This helps us gather the most detailed background and patient history possible. However, if only one parent is available to attend the evaluation, then that is perfectly okay.  

Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center looks at the whole person, not just their diagnosis. Our team of multi-disciplinary professionals utilizes a ‘whole-person approach’ to treatment. We deliver evidence-based approaches – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and a family systems approach – to our clients.

Now more than ever, mental health professionals must play a crucial role in helping those battling their own unique mental health challenges better understand their own invisible battles.  Supporting and educating these individuals on how to develop and hone the requisite long-term coping skills will, ultimately, help lead them toward happier and more fulfilling lives.
