Frequently Asked Questions
What age range do you service at Learning Solutions?

Do I need a referral?
- Depends on your insurance plan!Most insurance plans will require a referral for psychological tests, however Learning Solutions can request a referral from your primary care physician after initial contact is made.
What is a developmental delay?
- A developmental delay occurs when a child doesn’t reach expected milestones in areas like speech, motor skills, or social interaction. It means they are developing more slowly than their peers, but with the right support, they can make progress.
How much will services cost?
Learning Solutions' Insurance Coordinator performs a verification of benefits on your insurance plan before your child is seen for services. During the verification of benefits, we inquire about the plan benefit for the service you are seeking, if the service is covered, if the service has a co-payment, or if you must reach your deductible. Learning Solutions offers a good faith estimate based on the verification of benefits, however, the total cost varies depending on how the insurance company processes the insurance invoice.
What are classic signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by a range of developmental differences that typically appear in early childhood. Common signs of ASD include challenges with social interaction, such as difficulty maintaining eye contact, understanding social cues, or engaging in back-and-forth conversation. Individuals with ASD may also display repetitive behaviors like hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating phrases (echolalia). In addition, they may have a strong preference for routines and may be highly sensitive to sensory input, such as loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures. It's important to remember that ASD affects each person differently, and not all individuals will exhibit the same signs.

What are communication disorders?
- Communication disorders can manifest in various ways, affecting how a person understands, expresses, or uses language. Classic signs may include difficulty speaking clearly (articulation issues), limited vocabulary, or trouble forming sentences correctly. Individuals may also struggle with understanding what others are saying, following directions, or responding appropriately in conversations. Other signs include stuttering, voice disorders, or problems with social communication, such as knowing when to take turns in a conversation or interpreting nonverbal cues like gestures or facial expressions. These disorders can vary in severity, and early identification is key to supporting effective communication development.
What is sensory processing
disorder (SPD)?
- Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information from the senses. Classic signs of SPD include being overly sensitive or under-sensitive to stimuli such as sounds, textures, lights, or movements. A child with SPD may become easily overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or certain clothing fabrics, or they may seek excessive sensory input, like spinning or crashing into things. Other signs include difficulty with motor coordination, trouble focusing, and resistance to certain types of touch or textures. These sensory challenges can affect daily activities and social interactions, but with proper support, individuals with SPD can learn to manage their sensory responses.
