Walk away with clarity about what's next (if anything)

Teacher conferences have come and gone, and they may have raised more questions than answers. For many parents, it's starting to feel like the right time to consider an evaluation. But for what? ADHD? Autism? Anxiety? Dyslexia? Something else?

It's a big decision. There are different types of assessments, long waitlists, unclear costs, and a lot of uncertainty about how a diagnosis might shape your son's school life, friendships, or even how others see him.

Rachel and Rebecca will walk you through

 ✅ When it might be time to get an assessment (and when it might not be)
✅ The difference between school evaluations and private evaluations
✅ Who to call, what to ask, and what it can cost
✅ How diagnoses can help, and what to watch out for
✅ Alternatives to formal assessments, and when to use them
✅ How this decision can affect life at home
✅ What a psychologist with 20+ years of evaluation experience wants parents to know before they start

✅ Live Q&A to get your specific questions answered  

You'll walk away with clarity, a plan for next steps, and a lot less mental load.

This is for you if...

You have a son who's hard to figure out

He's bright, strong-willed, sensitive, intense, anxious, distractible, overwhelmed, shut down, explosive, or just hard to figure out.

You're getting mixed messages from school

Teacher feedback, conference notes, or a "let's keep an eye on it" have left you with more questions than answers.

You're stuck on "now, later, or never"

You can't tell whether an evaluation is the right move yet, and you want to decide with confidence instead of pressure.

You don't know
​​​​​​​where to start

Between school vs. private evaluations, long waitlists, and unclear costs, you just want to know who to call and what to ask.

Walk away with clarity about your next step in the process
