“I feel like Dr. Shively was thorough with both the assessment, testing and final report process. My questions and concerns were answered appropriately. Most importantly my daughter was comfortable and said she had fun during testing!”
Carmel Mother
“An unexpected thing that really meant a lot to us, was how positive and strengths-focused you were when discussing our child. You saw her in her entirety and gave voice to her character and heart. Can’t wait to continue to have you as part of our child’s care team through her childhood!”

FAQs

Some insurers reimburse for evaluations, while others may require prior authorization. Also, an evaluation we consider clinically relevant may not be considered medically necessary, and insurance won't cover it.

We assess for all neurodevelopmental disorders, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), Global Developmental Delay, Language Disorders, and Specific Learning Disorders. We also assess for anxiety, mood (i.e., depression), and behavioral disorders. See our testing capabilities page for details.

No. IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) are written, implemented, and governed by your child's school. As part of the process, the school's multidisciplinary team (M-Team) evaluates your child's strengths and challenges. A Hive evaluation may inform the school's, since we often complete the same or similar testing, and we're eager to collaborate with your school so your child gets the best support.
