Neuropsychological Testing
Get the gold-standard cognitive and academic evaluation trusted by schools and pediatricians, without the long waitlists, high costs, or multiple days of testing.
Understand why your child is struggling, and what to do next.
When a child struggles in school, the reason isn't always obvious. Difficulties with attention, learning, memory, processing speed, anxiety, or executive functioning can look similar.
Blackbird Health’s comprehensive cognitive and academic testing identifies learning differences, explains patterns of strengths and challenges, and provides a personalized roadmap for school, home, and treatment.
Why Blackbird Health
A complete evaluation
Comprehensive WISC-V and WIAT-4 testing conducted by experienced clinicians to identify learning differences and understand your child's unique learning profile.
More affordable
Most private neuropsychological evaluations cost $3,000–$7,000. Blackbird offers the same core cognitive and academic assessment for $1,500.
Faster and convenient
Complete the evaluation in less than eight hours of family time through a streamlined virtual process, without sacrificing quality or standardized testing methods.
Get the right school support
Blackbird's comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation provides the documentation families need to advocate for school support, including IEPs, 504 Plans, and other educational accommodations.
Our evaluation includes:
Objective cognitive and academic testing
Identification of learning disabilities and learning differences
Recommendations for school accommodations and supports
A comprehensive report schools can use when considering eligibility
When ADHD treatment isn’t enough
Medication can improve attention, but it doesn't address every learning challenge. If your child is taking ADHD medication and still struggling with reading, writing, math, organization, or keeping up in school, there may be more to the picture.
Neuropsychological testing identifies whether additional factors are contributing to your child's academic difficulties and the right combination of school supports, accommodation and other treatment to help.

Frequency asked questions
-
Neuropsychological testing may be appropriate if your child is bright but struggling in school, has ongoing academic challenges despite tutoring or intervention, or you're looking for answers about ADHD, learning disabilities, or other cognitive differences. It's also helpful if you're seeking school accommodations or want a better understanding of how your child learns.
-
ADHD doesn't always explain every learning challenge. Some children with ADHD also have learning disabilities, processing speed challenges, working memory weaknesses, or executive functioning difficulties that continue to affect school even after medication or therapy.
Neuropsychological testing helps identify your child's complete learning profile so treatment and school supports can be tailored to their specific needs.
-
Our evaluation provides comprehensive cognitive and academic testing along with detailed documentation and recommendations that schools can use when considering eligibility for an IEP, 504 Plan, or other educational accommodations.
