Local Clinicians
The following is a partial list of local private clinicians familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD). You can expect to pay professional rates; however, your health insurance may cover some of the costs.
- Check with the professional of your choice and your health insurance carrier to verify coverage.
- Be advised that many major health insurance companies do not cover the diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities and ADHD.
- Make sure you understand all costs before treatment.
- The clinicians listed below charge approximately the same price for the CSU-required assessment battery.
- Once you schedule an appointment to be tested, please honor your commitment. Be on time and attend all required sessions.
