The System Wasn’t Built
for Your Child’s Needs
The instinct comes first. Then the research. Then the questions — about evaluations, waitlists, what a diagnosis actually changes. Most families spend months navigating a system that wasn’t designed for urgency. Referrals to specialists who aren’t taking new patients. Waitlists measured in seasons, not weeks. Intake calls that go unreturned.
None of that is a reflection of how important your child’s needs are. It’s a reflection of how the diagnostic infrastructure was built — and how long it’s gone without being redesigned.

A Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation
A Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE) is not a screening, a checklist, or an opinion. It is a structured, multi-method clinical assessment conducted by a doctoral-level psychologist — designed to produce findings that hold up in school meetings, with insurance, and in therapy planning.
Clinical Intake
A 60–90 minute guided interview with you. We gather your child’s developmental history, behavioral patterns, school experiences, and what you’ve already observed. Your insight is treated as clinical data.
Evaluation Session
A structured 90-minute video session with your child, conducted by a licensed doctoral psychologist. Includes validated assessment instruments and direct clinical observation — not just questionnaires.
Clinical Report
A comprehensive written report with a formal diagnosis or differential, clinical reasoning, and specific recommendations — written so you can use it directly with schools, therapists, and providers.
Clarity in Three Steps
Tell Your Story
Guided conversational intake interview, 60–90 minutes. Upload documents. We listen to your child’s lived experience because their story is the most important data.

Doctoral rigor without the wait
Every evaluation at Time to Evaluate is conducted by a licensed doctoral-level psychologist — not a technician, not an associate, not a screener. The same standard of clinical excellence that takes months elsewhere is available here in weeks.
Telehealth built for this evaluation
Our telehealth model wasn’t adapted from an in-person process. It was designed for it. Families across 45+ states complete full evaluations without leaving home — with reports that meet the same clinical and documentation standards as any in-person assessment.
Jaye Turrietta, PsyD, BCBA-D, AEP
Clinical Director, Time to Evaluate
Our clinical director sets the standard every evaluation is held to: that each child will be seen accurately — not assessed to a template. Dr. Turrietta leads a team of doctoral-level clinical psychologists who share her commitment to evaluations that go beyond surface behavior, particularly for children and adolescents ages 18 months through 18+ whose presentations don’t announce themselves in a brief encounter.
Every assessment at Time to Evaluate is built around a careful review of developmental history, the real-world examples families bring to the intake, and a structured clinical interview designed to understand how a child actually functions — not just how they perform in one setting. The clinical team she leads is trained to recognize:
- ✓The nuances of older children and adolescents
- ✓Subtle, complex, and high-masking presentations
- ✓Careful differential diagnosis
- ✓Clear, compassionate feedback for parents
