ACE® Assessment - Same-Day Comprehensive Evaluations
Most Major Insurance Accepted • No Referral Needed* • In-Person & Online
Don’t Wait for Answers
Every individual deserves timely answers. When you’re wondering about learning challenges, attention concerns, or developmental/social differences, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our ACE® system was created because we believe you shouldn’t have to wait weeks when answers could help today.
Common Reasons for an ACE® Assessment:
- Struggling with reading despite working twice as hard
- Concerns about ADHD but want professional evaluation before considering treatment
- Teachers have recommended evaluation but you’re unsure what that actually means
- Difficulty with social communication in ways others don’t understand
- You’re an adult who’s always felt different and wonder if ADHD might explain lifelong challenges
- Academic performance doesn’t match intelligence or effort level
Our ACE® Assessment Approach
At Behavioral Health Clinic, we’ve redesigned the evaluation experience to honor both your need for thorough answers and your desire to move forward quickly. Our ACE® system combines evidence-based testing with immediate professional analysis.
Unlike traditional evaluations that may result in weeks of waiting, our approach provides a comprehensive understanding the same day while maintaining the highest standards of care.

What to Expect
What's the difference between ACE® and regular psychological testing?
ACE® uses the same thorough, evidence-based tools as traditional evaluations but with streamlined scheduling and immediate analysis. Instead of waiting weeks for results, you receive comprehensive findings and recommendations the same day without compromising accuracy or detail.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is typically* required. You can contact us directly to discuss your concerns and schedule an assessment. However, if you have a referring physician or school professional, we’re happy to coordinate with them as part of your care.
What if my child gets anxious during testing?
Our team specializes in creating comfortable experiences for anxious children and adults. We take breaks as needed, explain each step clearly, and adjust our approach to help you feel at ease. Many families are surprised by how manageable the process feels.
Will my results be accepted by schools and other professionals?
Absolutely! Our comprehensive reports meet all professional standards and are accepted by schools, healthcare providers, and organizations for accommodation planning and support services.
Do you offer bilingual or interpreter services?
