    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.

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

    ➡️The sessions themselves take between 45 minutes to 8 hours (broken into smaller sessions). A typical full-evaluation for K-4th grade takes about 3 hours. Older students or more in-depth concners take longer.

    ➡️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.

Beyond the Stigma: Embracing Learning Differences

One of the biggest challenges parents face is the stigma associated with learning disability labels. At Clever Cogs, we believe that these labels do not define a child's potential. By embracing learning differences and focusing on individual strengths, we can help children succeed in ways that are meaningful to them.

Our goal is to make finding answers easy for children. Whether you're seeking local testing options or online testing, Clever Cogs is here to provide the support and guidance you need. Together, we can transform learning disabilities from a source of frustration into a pathway for growth and success.

Tailored Testing = Tailored Results

One of the key aspects of my reports is that accommodations and recommendations are not just a copy-and-paste list. They are justified and tailored to fit each child's unique needs. I spend approximately 15 to 20 hours writing each report before sending it to parents. This detailed approach ensures that the accommodations recommended are specific to how the child's learning disability manifests in both classroom and home environments.

The BEYOND a LABEL Framework

At Clever Cogs, we utilize a unique framework called BEYOND a LABEL. This framework is designed to look past the surface-level labels of learning disabilities and delve into the individual learning needs of each child. Here's how it works:

B: Balanced Assessments

We begin with balanced assessments that evaluate various aspects of a child's cognitive and academic abilities. This includes online testing options and mobile testing services within 60 miles of Conroe, Texas. Whether you're looking for dyslexia tests or assessments for other learning disabilities, we provide thorough evaluations tailored to your child's needs.

E: Empowering Parents

Understanding your child's learning disability can be overwhelming. I offer guidance and support, empowering parents with the knowledge they need to advocate for their child's education. My comprehensive reports drive intervention, providing actionable insights and recommendations.

Y: Yielding Insights

Using a null hypothesis approach, I let the data drive the full evaluation, ensuring that no stone is left unturned. This method allows me to yield insights into your child's learning profile, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

O: Observations and Interactions

I emphasize the importance of observations and interactions. By considering anecdotal notes from teachers and parents, along with my own observations, I can provide a well-rounded evaluation that takes into account real-world performance.

N: Nuanced Understanding

Every child is unique, and so is their learning journey. I provide a nuanced understanding of how different learning disabilities impact various subject areas, from math to reading, ensuring that recommendations are personalized and effective.

D: Dedicated Support

At Clever Cogs, we're dedicated to providing ongoing support. Whether through follow-up consultations or additional resources, I am here to help you and your child navigate the challenges of learning disabilities.
