A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation should fit the rhythm of your family — not the other way around.
​Sessions are conducted in the privacy of your home, on a schedule that works for your child. There is no clinic, no waiting room, and no missed school days for testing. Every part of the engagement, from the first conversation through the final feedback meeting, is led personally by Dr. Ryan Bird, a Licensed Educational Psychologist with more than a decade of experience supporting K–12 students at independent and public schools across Los Angeles.
The result is a comprehensive evaluation conducted with the privacy, depth, and personal attention your family expects.
Parents who reach out are usually trying to answer a question that has been on their mind for some time:
-
Why is my child struggling in school despite working so hard?
-
Does my child have a learning difference, ADHD, or both?
-
Is what I’m seeing at home an emotional concern, a learning concern, or a mix of the two?
-
What accommodations or supports would actually help — and how do I make the case for them?
-
Is my child gifted? Twice-exceptional?
-
We’ve had a school assessment. We want a clearer, fuller picture.
-
We’re considering medication. We want a thoughtful diagnostic foundation first.
-
We’re applying to a new school, or preparing for college accommodations. We want a current, comprehensive evaluation in hand.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation is built to answer questions of exactly this kind.
The Concierge Evaluation is a single, flat-fee engagement that includes everything required to understand your child’s learning profile in full:
-
An initial intake consultation
-
A thorough review of records, including prior evaluations, school reports, IEP and 504 documents, and relevant medical records
-
A structured clinical interview with you, and with your child’s other parent or guardians when appropriate
-
A structured clinical interview with your child
-
Teacher input — interviews and rating scales — when applicable
-
Classroom or home observation when clinically warranted
-
All standardized testing, typically across three to four in-home sessions, scheduled at your family’s pace
-
Coordination with up to one hour of consultation with your child’s outside providers (pediatrician, therapist, tutor, educational therapist)
-
A comprehensive written report integrating diagnostic impressions, full data, and individualized recommendations
-
A 90-minute feedback meeting with you to walk through findings in plain language
-
A secure digital copy of the final report, delivered to you
-
There are no add-on charges for additional diagnostic domains.
The Process
1. Inquiry & consultation call. A brief, no-cost conversation to discuss your child, the questions you’re trying to answer, and whether the engagement is the right fit. No obligation.
2. Intake meeting. A 60-minute conversation, in your home or via secure video, to gather history and refine the referral question.
3. In-home testing. Three to four sessions, scheduled around your child’s life. Each is 90 to 180 minutes, depending on age, attention, and stamina. There is no clinic, no traffic, and no waiting room.
4. Integration & report. Dr. Bird scores, interprets, and writes the report personally. The deliverable is a comprehensive document — not a score sheet — written for parents, schools, and outside providers to use directly.
5. Feedback meeting. A 90-minute conversation, usually about a week after the report is delivered, to walk through the findings and recommendations together.
Each evaluation is clinically tailored to the questions your family brings. Depending on the referral concern, the battery may include measures of:
-
Cognitive functioning — verbal comprehension, visual-spatial reasoning, fluid reasoning, working memory, processing speed
-
Academic achievement — reading, writing, mathematics, oral language
-
Executive functioning and attention
-
Memory and learning
-
Language and communication
-
Visual-motor and graphomotor skills
-
Social, emotional, and behavioral functioning
-
Adaptive functioning, when clinically warranted
Dr. Bird is a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP #4530), not a neuropsychologist; the battery draws on measures commonly used in neuropsychological assessment, applied within the educational-psychology framework that the questions of school, learning, and development call for.
