Parent FAQ

One of the most common sentiments that our team encounters from parents of children who are assessed is that parents and guardians feel lost with regard to their child’s challenges. We want all parents to know that we understand how you feel. There is no handbook that explains the way each child expresses their individuality or how each child might act in certain situations when compared to other children. You are not alone and we are here to help!

Our team of experts includes psychologists, educators, and psychotherapists.

For more information on whether or not your child would benefit from an assessment, or ways to determine if your child warrants a professional’s assistance, please read through our frequently asked questions below.

Are there weekend appointments available for assessments?
 
We do not have weekend appointments available at this time. If scheduling is a concern for you, please contact us so we can further discuss your situation.

How much does an assessment cost?

We offer a variety of assessments and services. For more information on pricing click here.

Do you accept a sliding scale?

We do not have a sliding scale available.
 

Do you accept payment plans?

The first half of the assessment cost is paid on the day when the assessment is scheduled. The second half is paid on the day of assessment.
 

Do I need my co-parent to sign off before beginning the assessment of my child?

 

Yes, unless you have sole decision making for education and medical decisions, both parents will need to provide consent for the assessment. If you have sole decision making status, we will need to have a copy of the court order on file.
 

Do you take health insurance?

The Child Assessment and Training Center of Denver does not accept insurance. We are happy to provide you with a superbill that may be submitted to your insurance if you are out of network. Call your insurance provider for more information on out of network benefits.
 

Can I use my HSA card?

Yes, you may use a health savings account card. If there are not enough funds in this account, you will be required to provide a credit card as well. Payments may be split between a HSA and credit or debit card.
 

How long does the process take?

 

A member from our team will contact you within 24 hours of your inquiry to schedule an initial consultation. At this time, the date will be determined for your child’s assessment. We are typically scheduling assessments within a 2-4 week timeframe. Parent forms will be sent via email and should be completed prior to the assessment date. Once the evaluation is complete, our goal is to have the parent feedback meeting within 2 weeks of your child’s assessment.

Is there a waiting list?

 

We are proud to offer assessment services that can be scheduled within 2-4 weeks. It is our goal to have minimal to no wait lists so that your child can be assessed in a timely manner.

Why Have Your Child Assessed?

 

Many times, parents wonder if there are benefits to having their child assessed by our team of professionals. There are many different reasons why children are assessed by The Child Assessment and Training Center of Denver which can include any of the following:

 

  • A parent or family member notices that a child cannot do something they think they should be able to by a certain age
  • A teacher expresses concern about your child
  • A pediatrician recommends an evaluation
  • ADD concerns or your child has issues with focus, attention, and concentration
  • Assessments of your newly-adopted child to give new parents a baseline
  • Private school admissions which require an assessment
  • Your child is struggling with behavioral issues, emotional regulation, or listening
  • Reading concerns including Dyslexia
  • Academic or learning delays
  • Your child needs an IQ test for admission to a private school

What happens after the assessment?

Our team-based assessments create an opportunity to evaluate your child so that she can get the help she needs. The assessments are informative and can be diagnostic to find solutions and determine the best ways to help your child at home, school and with friends. They allow the team to find strengths and opportunities for growth for each child and her unique needs.
