AT-HOME PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL TESTING

At-home testing has shown to significantly reduce test anxiety often experienced by students. By reducing anxiety students can put forth their best effort, resulting in more accurate results. If at-home testing is not possible, other arrangements can be made such as your local library or school.

Homeschoolers can also benefit from testing when there is suspicion of a learning impairment, giftedness or determining if your child is meeting expected academic benchmarks. Our diagnosis is also valid for obtaining the FES-UA scholarship. Learn more here.

Why Us?

If you’re considering private testing, make the process EASY.  Aside from the convenience of not having to drive anywhere, get late or lost for appointments, our EXCLUSIVE at-home testing services has numerous proven advantages:

Reduces Test Anxiety

Students are tested in their own home by a licensed school psychologist who travels to location. By testing in a familiar environment and comfort zone, we virtually eliminate ‘test anxiety’. With anxiety out of the way, students are able to put forth their best effort, resulting in more accurate results and diagnosis.  

Privacy & Safety

Avoid sitting in a waiting room with strangers. At home testing ensures a level of privacy preferred by families and students.

Covid19 changed the way we approach many things in our lives. Avoiding large crowds in closed-in spaces was one of the mayor shifts in our society during the last few years. At-home testing helps reduce unnecessary exposure to communicable diseases from office waiting rooms. 

Time Efficiency

Child Testing has developed a meticulous time efficient system where one visit is all that is required. After the student is tested, results (scores, diagnosis, recommendations) are emailed in a PDF report within 2-3 business days. All cases are treated with the same level of urgency. 

Expertise

Because your psychologist is mobile throughout the state and not confined to an office space in one geographical location, the volume and diversity of cases translate into a high level of expertise. Mrs. Rexach has over 25 years experience, beginning with her internship in 1997,  identifying specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, ADD/ADHD and many other childhood developmental, mood and behavioral disorders.  Child Testing reports are considered among the most comprehensive and detailed. Turn around for reports is never more than 3 business days. 

Mrs. Rexach collaborates with all public and private schools, colleges, universities and other academic institutions throughout the state of Florida and nationwide.  Click here for professional references and list of schools who have recently received psychoeducational reports from Child-Testing.

How to prepare for at-home testing

“Private testing should not be unaffordable. We want to make it possible for every student to have equal access to a good education. Schools rarely test for learning impairments, and when they do, it takes several years before any action is taken. Meanwhile, students with undetected LD’s and their parents are left to struggle for years.”   –Michelle Rexach, M.A. School Psychology & founder of Child-Testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does testing cost?

Fees range from $595 to $995 per student (vs thousands charged by other centers) depending on the type of assessment, tests administered and your geographical location. Siblings tested the same day receive a $50 discount. We do not accept medical insurance. Payment is due in full on the day of testing. Accepted forms of payment are personal or certified checks, money orders, cash, Zelle®, Venmo®, CashApp® and PayPal®. Call for more details (813)468-6528, or fill out this form for a quote.

Why do fees vary so much among professionals for the same type of testing?

Professionals working in the same geographical area may charge different rates for what appears to be the same type of service. Many find there is little negotiating room for their fees when the overhead associated with expensive office space is a factor. Another reason for the discrepancy in rates is because the choice of testing instruments used to assess different abilities varies greatly among professionals in the field. Experienced clinicians find that less instruments are needed to arrive at similar conclusions. This being said, only learning disabilities that are recognized by IDEA can qualify a student for accommodations or services. If the parent’s purpose of testing is to obtain accommodations for their child, our testing process is the most time and cost effective approach. Taking this into account, Florida Psychological Testing ensures not only affordable rates, but also very high quality service and accurate reports which are accepted by all academic institutions.
