Facing struggles alone?

When your child’s confidence in learning starts to fade, it’s heartbreaking.

The uncertainty of where to turn for help can leave you feeling lost and overwhelmed. You’ve spoken with doctors, teachers, and friends, but the answers seem out of reach.

And with so many educational businesses pushing their own solutions, it's hard to know who to trust.

But finding the right path forward doesn’t have to be so frustrating.

Hello!

I'm Kelli Heinemeier, an Educational Diagnostician, educational therapist, former teacher, and founder of Clever Cogs Educational Testing Services. As a mom, I understand the impact that learning challenges can have on a child and the entire family. As an educator with 18+ years of experience, I know how hard it can be to find answers to those challenges.

I wanted answers to be easy, affordable, and actionable, so I founded Clever Cogs Educational Testing Services.

I created Clever Cogs to help parents uncover their child’s learning needs and provide clear, actionable plans that lead to academic success. Together, we’ll meet your child where they are, using strategies tailored to their unique strengths and your family's values.

When you call Clever Cogs, you’ll speak directly with me, Kelli! I am a one-woman show, meaning personalized support from beginning to end.

Our Services

Local Testing Services

In Conroe, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Magnolia, Texas, I offer face-to-face testing options. These include dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia screenings, academic check-ups, and full evaluations. Screeners and academic check-ups are conveniently held at local libraries, while full evaluations are conducted at my Huntsville, Montgomery, and Magnolia locations. Each service includes a detailed report, consultation, and actionable recommendations to support your child's educational journey.

Remote Testing Services

For families preferring remote assessments, I provide comprehensive testing via Google Meet. My remote services include dyslexia screenings, academic check-ups, and full evaluations. These online assessments are designed to be thorough and engaging, ensuring an accurate understanding of your child's abilities from the comfort of your home.

  • 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:

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

    ➑️Reports 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 β€” often, a difference of $1,000s β€” and less time-consuming β€” we can test and share results often in as little as three (3) weeks β€” 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.
