DENVER, CO – September 16, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

ElevateU Educational Psychology, a Cherry Creek practice serving Denver Metro families since 2015, is now offering focused ADHD testing built for gifted and twice-exceptional students whose attention difficulties are frequently missed by generalist clinics.

The service is delivered from the practice’s office on Madison Street in Denver’s Cherry Creek North neighborhood, with families traveling from Washington Park, Central Park, Lowry, Hilltop, Glendale, Englewood and the Denver Tech Center corridor, along with Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, Broomfield and Greenwood Village. Requests for private evaluations tend to cluster around dated school deadlines: gifted-identification and Advanced Learning Plan windows, scheduled IEP and 504 meetings, and college-entrance testing accommodation requests, which generally call for documentation completed within the past three to five years.

Each evaluation examines attention, executive functioning, behavior and academic performance together rather than relying on a symptom checklist alone. Families receive a written report and a dedicated feedback session in which the findings are translated into plain language and specific classroom requests. When a bright student’s difficulties may reflect a learning difference such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or a slow processing profile rather than attention alone, ElevateU offers a broader psychoeducational evaluation that separates the two.

Twice-exceptional students — children who are intellectually gifted and also have a disability such as ADHD or a learning disorder — remain among the most frequently overlooked groups in school identification, in part because strong reasoning skills can compensate for underlying difficulty until academic demands increase. A school-based evaluation and a private evaluation also answer different questions. School assessments are scoped to educational eligibility under state rules and the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, while an independent evaluation examines how one specific child learns and what that pattern calls for, information a family can bring into a school meeting or use when exercising the right to an independent educational evaluation after a disputed district assessment.

Every evaluation at ElevateU is conducted by Ashley Vacante, Ed.D., NCSP, a Nationally Certified School Psychologist who holds a Doctor of Education from the University of Denver and has worked inside Denver Metro public and independent schools rather than only consulting with them from the outside. Because the practice is solo by design, the clinician who administers the testing is the same clinician who interprets it, writes the report and presents the findings to the family.

Fees are published rather than quoted only by phone. A focused ADHD evaluation is listed at $1,900 to $2,400, and a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation, which also examines learning disabilities, processing differences and giftedness, is listed at $2,400 to $3,400, with the final figure depending on the assessment plan. Evaluations are private pay. Testing typically spans one to two sessions, followed by the written report and the family feedback session. Vacante also consults with teachers, counselors and school administrators and can attend school meetings, though eligibility for an Advanced Learning Plan, an IEP, a 504 plan or standardized-testing accommodations is determined by school teams, districts and testing agencies rather than by an outside evaluator.
