Addressing the Questions Behind the Behavior

Every child with autism or ADHD carries a story their behavior alone cannot tell. Behind every “why won’t he stay focused?” or “why is reading so hard?” or “why does she shut down at school?” is a learning profile — a way the brain organizes attention, language, memory, and processing. ABA can teach skills and shape behavior. But a psychoeducational evaluation gives the rest of the picture in writing. It explains how your child learns — so every adult in your child’s life can teach them better.

Our Services

Two Powerful Paths to Progress

Whether your family needs therapy at home or in a structured clinic setting, ZODU ABA provides expert, personalized care built around your child’s unique needs.

Daily Living Independence

Two families

Two Families, Two Questions, One
Path Forward

Age 7 · In ABA over a year

Mateo's Story

Mateo is seven. He has been in ZODU ABA for over a year, and his BCBA has watched him make real progress — fewer meltdowns, more requesting, more peer engagement. But school keeps reporting the same struggle: he can answer questions out loud but freezes when he has to write them down. His mother kept hearing “we’ll figure it out at the next IEP meeting” — and the meetings kept passing without anything changing. Mateo’s family didn’t need more therapy. They needed a written profile a school could actually use.
Age 12 · Transitioned out of ABA

Sofia's Story

Sofia is twelve, recently transitioned out of an ABA program, and now in a general-education classroom with a 504 Plan. Her parents had always been told she was “bright but anxious.” But homework took three hours every night, and her self-talk had turned brutal. Her parents had a sinking feeling that something had been missed years ago. They needed someone to ask the question her ABA plan was never designed to answer: how does she actually learn?

A Path Forward for Both

For Mateo, a ZODU psychoeducational evaluation produced a written profile that gave his IEP team something concrete to work from — and gave his ABA team sharper goals to build into his program. For Sofia, the evaluation finally named what had been hiding behind the anxiety: a learning difference no one had documented.

A ZODU psychoeducational evaluation does not replace the work your ABA team is doing. It makes that work clearer, faster, and more coordinated.

The benefit

Care That Responds When You Need It Most

At ZODU Health, we’ve built a system designed to make the process simple, responsive, and truly personalized. When anxiety or depression is making daily life harder, you deserve clear next steps — not a maze of providers. From the moment you reach out, our focus is connecting you with the right support without delays or confusion.

Sharper ABA Goals

A private, non-judgmental space where your story is held with full respect and confidentiality. What you bring to session stays in session.

01

Stronger IEP & 504 Outcomes

Schools accept outside psychoeducational evaluations as supporting documentation — a written profile they can use.

02

Faster "Bright but Struggling" Resolution

Many children in ABA also have learning differences that have never been formally tested. The evaluation surfaces them.

03

A Coordinated Plan

Evaluation, ABA, counseling, speech, OT, and PT can all align around one written profile — every provider on the same page.

04

Foundation

The Foundation of a ZODU Psychoeducational Evaluation

A ZODU psychoeducational evaluation is performed by a credentialed Florida School Psychologist / Educational Specialist, supported by ZODU’s broader clinical team and reviewed by our clinical supervisor on complex cases. The evaluation uses structured measures of cognition, academic skills, processing, attention, language, and behavior — selected to fit your child’s age and the goal of the report. Every evaluation includes a feedback session in plain language, and a written report formatted to what schools, colleges, and accommodation boards expect.

One coordinated system

The Role of Your ABA Team

ZODU is one coordinated system, which means your BCBA and RBTs are not bystanders to the evaluation — they are part of it. With your consent, your ABA team shares observations, treatment data, and progress notes that help the evaluator see the whole child. After the report is delivered, your BCBA can use the cognitive and learning profile to refine goals, adjust prompts, and design programs that fit how your child actually learns.

The result is not two separate plans — ABA and education — but one integrated path.

The whole picture

Building the Whole Picture: What We Evaluate

Our evaluations are matched to the question your family is trying to answer. We do not bundle measures you don’t need.

 
 

Cognitive Functioning

How a child reasons, problem-solves, and holds information in working memory.

Academic Skills

Reading, math, written expression, and how a child performs against age expectations.

Attention & Executive Functioning

Focus, impulse control, organization, planning, task initiation.

Processing

Language processing, auditory and visual processing, processing speed.

Behavioral & Adaptive Functioning

How a child manages emotions, transitions, social cues, and daily-life skills.

Autism-Specific Profiles

Pediatric and adult developmental and behavioral patterns relevant to school planning and ABA coordination.

Gifted Profiles

Identification of cognitive strengths that often go undocumented when behavior is the focus.
Every evaluation

Investment

Evaluations and Investment

ZODU psychoeducational evaluations are self-pay. We do not bill insurance for evaluations. This allows us to control the quality of the assessment and the speed of the report. A payment receipt is available on request, which families may submit to their own insurance to pursue possible out-of-network reimbursement, though we cannot guarantee any reimbursement.

The experience

What Testing Actually Looks Like

Most sessions look more like a quiet, focused conversation than a medical procedure. Depending on age and goal, your child will work with the evaluator on tasks that may include puzzles, reading or writing samples, listening tasks, drawings, and structured questions. Most sessions run 90 minutes to three hours, with breaks built in.

Will I be in the room with my child?

For younger children, parents are typically nearby during portions of the session. For older children and adults, testing is usually one-on-one with the evaluator — and a parent stays close by for any child who needs reassurance.

How do I prepare my child?

Bring a rested child, a snack, glasses or hearing aids if used, and any prior reports. Tell your child this is not a test they can pass or fail — they will be asked to do their best on different kinds of activities.

What if my child has a tough moment?

Our evaluators are trained to work with children who get tired, distracted, anxious, or overwhelmed. ABA families especially appreciate that we understand sensory needs, transition supports, and the value of breaks. Rescheduling is a normal option — and it does not change the integrity of the evaluation.

Comprehensive Care, Coordinated Around Your Family

ZODU ABA Services is part of ZODU Group — an Integrated Family Health System that coordinates medical, behavioral, developmental, and rehabilitative care for families in Central Florida. A psychoeducational evaluation is one piece of that ecosystem. When the report points toward additional support, your family is not left to find providers on your own. We coordinate the warm handoff — to ZODU Health for counseling, to ZODU ABA for continued behavioral support, to ZODU Therapy for speech, OT, or PT, or to an outside specialist when that is what your situation calls for.

You only have to tell your story once. We carry it from there.

You Are Not Alone
The transformation

Transforming What Your Child's Team Can See

A psychoeducational evaluation does not change who your child is. It changes what the adults around your child can finally see. The BCBA can sharpen the plan. The teacher can adapt the lesson. The school can write the accommodation. The parent can stop guessing. And your child gets the experience that most ABA families are working toward — a team that finally understands them, all at once, in writing.

That is the transformation we are here to help you build.

The experience

Frequently Asked Questions

My child is already in ABA. Do they still need a psychoeducational evaluation?
Often, yes. ABA addresses behavior and skill building; a psychoeducational evaluation describes the underlying cognitive and learning profile. The two strengthen each other — and the evaluation gives the school documentation that ABA progress notes alone cannot provide.
Our pediatric ASD evaluation produces a developmental and behavioral profile that can inform school planning and ABA coordination. Whether a specific medical diagnosis is the right pathway depends on the case, and our clinical supervisor reviews complex requests before booking. We will tell you honestly whether a ZODU evaluation is the right path or whether a coordinated referral fits your goal better.
No. Psychoeducational evaluations at ZODU are self-pay. This is different from ABA services, which are billable through insurance. We are direct about this upfront so there are no surprises. A payment receipt is available for possible out-of-network reimbursement, but we cannot guarantee what your plan will cover.

With your written consent, yes. Your BCBA can share treatment data and clinical observations that help the evaluator see the whole child. After the report is delivered, your BCBA receives a copy (with your consent) and can incorporate the findings into the ABA plan.

Schools accept outside psychoeducational evaluations as supporting documentation for IEP and 504 teams. The school still makes its own eligibility determination, and ZODU coordinates directly with schools when families consent.

This concern deserves a direct answer. The report is yours — it is shared only with parties you consent to share it with. Most ABA families find that clear documentation actually protects their child — schools and colleges respond better with accurate information than with guessing.

Yes. We offer evaluations for college students and adults, including adult ADHD and adult Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluations. Many of the adults we evaluate are parents in ABA families who finally make the time for themselves.

Two to four weeks after the final testing session. The feedback session is scheduled as soon as the report is finalized.

 Our evaluators are trained for this. We use breaks, redirection, and rescheduling as needed. ABA families often tell us their children do better with us than they expected, because our team understands sensory needs and transition supports.

No. We evaluate ABA families from any provider, families not currently in ABA, homeschool families, college students, and adults. Being part of ZODU ABA simply makes the coordination tighter.

Florida requires a yearly evaluation for Option 1 homeschool families. ZODU provides this at a flat fee of $150. ABA families who homeschool often combine this with other evaluation needs in the same visit when possible.
