We're an out-of-network practice, which means we don't bill insurance directly — but we provide superbills you can submit for potential reimbursement. Before scheduling, it's worth calling your insurance to ask about out-of-network mental health benefits. We’ll also be happy to send you a sample superbill. These CPT codes will help:

96116  — First hour of neuropsychological intake
96136 — First 30 min of testing
96137 — Each additional 30 min of testing
96132 — First hour of data integration & interpretation
96133 — Additional hours for data interpretation, feedback & report writing

At AY Neuropsych, we believe every family deserves access to high-quality care. By offering evaluations with clinicians at different levels of training — all under Dr. Yang’s direct supervision — we’re able to provide more flexible fee options without compromising quality. We’ll always be transparent about who will be working with your child and associated costs, so you can choose what feels right for your family.

Yes — in English and Mandarin. Dr. Yang is one of few pediatric neuropsychologists in New York City offering bilingual neuropsychological evaluations in both languages.

Absolutely. Many adults come to us with long-held questions about ADHD, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorder — things they've wondered about for years. Both comprehensive and targeted evaluations are available.

We offer targeted and updated evaluations when a full battery isn't indicated. We also have specialized training in the ADOS-2 and ADI-R for focused autism diagnostic assessments.

Yes — testing takes place in person at our office at 185 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Parent intake and feedback sessions are conducted via Zoom. Virtual or hybrid arrangements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Yes — testing takes place in person at our office at 185 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. For children under 10, a parent or guardian is required to remain in the reception area during testing (rather than in the testing room itself). Parent intake and feedback sessions are conducted via Zoom. Virtual or hybrid arrangements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

A few weeks from start to finish. Testing spans 2–3 in-person visits, and the written report is delivered approximately 4 weeks after your parent feedback session.

This is one of the most common things parents share with us — and it makes complete sense.

Here's how I think about it: a diagnostic label, on its own, isn't the goal. What it does is help us understand exactly where a challenge is rooted in the brain — and that understanding is what unlocks the right, evidence-based strategies to support your child. The label clears the path. It's the roadmap that matters.

My goal is never to define your child by a diagnosis. It's to help your whole family understand them more fully — so they can be supported in ways that actually work.

Medication is never the automatic answer — and it's never the only one.

I consider the whole child: their profile, their history, their culture, their environment, and what their family needs right now. I follow evidence-based guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, and I'm most invested in meeting families where they are. The goal is always to support your child's overall development, joy, and sense of who they are — as a learner and as a person.

In my experience — yes. I've worked with many children who come in anxious, avoidant, or behaviorally complex, and I've consistently been able to gather meaningful data.

Connection comes before testing. Always. I take the time to sit with your child, get to know them, and help them feel safe. And the data we gather accurately reflects how they are currently functioning — which is exactly the picture we want.

The most common thing I hear: "I didn't realize I'd finally understand the root of it."

Some families come in after years of chasing individual symptoms — tutoring for reading, therapy for anxiety, social skills group to practice flexibility, or OT for regulation — without a clear picture of what they're actually dealing with. What surprises them most is walking away with an understanding of the underlying reason all of those things have been hard. Not just what the challenges are, but where they're coming from.

That's where the real clarity lives.

Connection comes before testing. Always. I take the time to sit with your child, get to know them, and help them feel safe. And the data we gather accurately reflects how they are currently functioning — which is exactly the picture we want.

Keep it simple and low-key. Let them know they'll be doing activities — some like games and puzzles, some a bit more like school — and that there are no right or wrong answers. It's not a test they can pass or fail. It's just a way to understand how their brain works best.

You're also welcome to share Dr. Yang's letter to kids with them directly — you'll find it on our About page.

Completely. Most families are — and I'd be surprised if you weren't.

Here's what I'd say: the families who come out the other side are almost always grateful they went through it. Having a clear picture of what's going on — and a real plan — feels so different from the guessing.

You're not putting a label on your child. You're trying to understand them better so you can help them more. And we'll be with you every step of the way — during the evaluation, after the report, and as you navigate what comes next.
