    Here are some of the places where we conduct assessments:

    📌Huntsville and Montgomery County Libraries: A quiet and familiar environment for many families; perfect for screenings or “short” test services.

    📌Private Offices Within Co-working Spaces: Professional settings that ensure privacy and focus.

  • If you notice your child struggling with learning and attention, or if they're facing challenges in school that don't seem to improve, an evaluation can provide valuable insights into their specific needs and how best to support them.

    With our menu of services, you can always start with a screening or academic ability test and see if there is further need for testing.

    If there is a family history of learning struggles, or the child has had frequent ear infections, was born premature, or had speech and/or motor delays, the likelihood of developing a learning disability is greater. Diagnosis and early intervention is the key to academic success.

  • We strive to make our services accessible to all families. With a variety of testing options and payment plans available, we work with you to find a solution that fits your budget. While exact pricing varies by need, our screening services start at $100 and our full evaluations are under $1,500.

    Also, screening or check-up costs can be applied toward the price of a full evaluation when scheduled within 30 days.

  • It depends on the assessment service selected and scheduling availability:

    ➡️The sessions themselves take between 45 minutes to 8 hours (broken into smaller sessions)

    ➡️Reports and follow-up meetings usually occur within three weeks.

    Expect a detailed process that allows us to thoroughly understand your child's needs. We aim for efficiency without compromising the quality of our evaluations. After your free consultation, you will receive a specific timeline.

  • Clever Cogs offers personalized, in-depth assessments led by experienced educational diagnosticians. Unlike standard school evaluations, we focus on understanding learning within the non-traditional classroom, offering tailored strategies and a comprehensive view of their unique learning profile.

    Also, we provide testing services to college-aged students and adults. The school system does not provide learning disability assessments for those over 21 years of age, and often not over the age of 18.

  • Choosing an educational diagnostician can be more cost-effective — often, a difference of $1,000s — and less time-consuming — we can test and share results often in as little as three (3) weeks — than seeing a neuropsychologist.

    We focus specifically on learning and educational implications, providing targeted recommendations for school and home, which can be more directly applicable to educational planning.

    On the other hand, if you or your child has a seizure disorder, brain injury, aphasia, or other co-occurring concerns, a neuropsychologist will likely be able to provide you the best information.

The results are entirely yours. We do not share our results with others unless you ask. That means there is no pressure for specific interventions, programs, or medication. Just valuable information including at-home tips, intervention ideas, and accommodations (when applicable).

Private

Testing options for all budgets and needs. Whether it’s focus, IQ, reading, writing, math, or general learning you want to be evaluated, we can help. We specialize in working with non-traditional students by offering a menu of testing options depending on the depth and need. We’ll provide our expert opinion on options, but the choice is yours.

Complete

Our friendly and highly-qualified diagnostician, Kelli Heinemeier, M. Ed., uses scientifically reliable test batteries along with observation and interviews to ensure accurate results and peace of mind. She is also an educational therapist, so, besides just data, she provides insight with actionable steps forward to success.

Reliable

Quick and easy from scheduling the evaluation to reviewing the results. We offer several testing locations in Walker and Montgomery County (Huntsville, Conroe, The Woodlands, Montgomery, and surrounding areas). We also offer remote testing and take many Private Pay options like cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, and Credit Cards.
