Fast, Reliable Testing for Your Child's Needs
Watching your child struggle can be incredibly frustrating. The long wait times, confusing information, and high costs associated with testing, IEPs, and 504 Plans only add to the stress. Typically, the process can take 6 to 18 months just to begin.
But what if you could skip the wait and access the same trusted, nationally recognized tests used by professionals? Our testing qualifies for Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) as an outside testing entity, giving you fast results without the delay.
Get the peace of mind your family deserves — and get it before the school year begins.

There are three reasons families consistently choose summer for testing:
1. Your child has the headspace. No homework, no test prep, no end-of-year stress. Children perform their best on assessments when they're rested, calm, and not under academic pressure.
2. You'll have results before September. Get your detailed written report in hand within 1 week of testing completion. That gives you time to share findings with your child's new teacher, request school accommodations, or arrange targeted tutoring before the new school year begins.
3. Scheduling is easier. Summer schedules are typically more flexible for families, making it easier to complete intake sessions, testing appointments, and the results review without disrupting the school day.
At The Orton-Gillingham Institute, Inc., our goal is to work with the whole child. For us, that means finding out where the underlying issues are, and working to not only improve but to try to eliminate some of the educational and intellectual difficulties your child may have.
While every child is different, we believe our approach should always be the same — and that essentially means we give all students 200%.
Prior to any child beginning instruction at The Orton-Gillingham Institute, we provide them with general testing. Please note that testing to enter into tutoring, whether private 1-on-1 tutoring or group tutoring, will include a reading, writing, and mathematics evaluation. This evaluation is used to determine your child's reading and math levels and writing capabilities, and helps us group your child into the proper instructional setting and provide the correct level of materials once instruction begins.
Please note that general evaluations are not comprehensive Psycho-Educational or Developmental Assessments.
All comprehensive testing provided by The Orton-Gillingham Institute, Inc. includes nationally recognized testing accepted by most school districts and medical practices in the United States.

We accept the following forms of payment for testing and instructional services:
*A detailed statement of fees will be provided for clients' submission to insurance companies for self-filing claims.
Many insurance companies do not cover psychological testing for developmental delays and/or learning issues. There are several reasons why they do this, but the most commonly cited reason is that they deem these services "educational" rather than "medical," even if the provider is "in-network."
Generally, insurance companies only pay for care that they have determined to be "medically necessary." This means that in order for your service to be covered, you will have to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder AND prove that it is impacting your health on a day-to-day basis. Fortunately, many parents seek testing before their child's issue meets the criteria for a formal mental health disorder diagnosis.
Your insurance company may even tell you, "A quote for benefits does not guarantee payment..." This means that you can be told over the phone that something is covered, given an authorization number, and still be denied coverage once the diagnosis is reviewed.
Because our testing is customized for each person based on their needs and concerns, we have found that pre-approvals involve the insurance company's staff "granting permission" for each and every individual test we feel we need to administer, prior to the start of testing.
Our assessments are tailored to your child and the intake questionnaire, so the testing battery changes frequently after we start working with (and getting to know) your child. It is unlikely that all clients will need or receive the exact same testing battery. Unfortunately, this individualized approach does not fit with the insurance pre-approval process.
Lastly, we are typically required to provide a mental health diagnosis/code in order to receive reimbursement. This is unethical if your child does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis, and it requires that a family member's diagnosis be shared with third parties.
