Testimonials

Neuropsychology/Assessment:

  • “Dr. Hinnebusch’s neuropsychological evaluation services gave us clarity about our daughter that we had been seeking for years. When she was an infant, we had wondered if she might be autistic, but our concerns were dismissed because of her unique, mild presentation and compensatory giftedness. She was given an ADHD diagnosis and an inadequate 504 plan. Yet she continued to struggle academically and socially at school. Our daughter felt like she didn’t belong, her teachers were frustrated, and no one could figure what we were missing. 

    If it had not been for Dr. Hinnebusch conducting in-depth interviews with us and our daughter, obtaining input from her teacher, and providing gold-standard diagnostic testing, our daughter likely would have been another autistic girl to slip through the cracks. His 30-page evaluation report delivered tools and best practices no one else had considered, and ultimately empowered us to seek a school that would be better equipped to support our daughter as a twice-exceptional student.

    We're incredibly grateful to Dr. Hinnebusch for showing our family a new path forward. With a better understanding of who she is and how her brain works, we're excited to help our daughter become a proud, thriving autistic girl."

  • “Dr. Alex Hinnebusch is PHENOMENAL to work with. He listens and provides effective feedback. Never once did I feel I couldn't ask a question and he did a great job at explaining my son's results in Layman's Terms. The 2 meetings I've had with Dr. Hinnebusch were both pleasant experiences. He is compassionate, understanding and provides great insight to the concerns I expressed to him regarding my son.”

  • “Dr. Hinnebusch was so pleasant and his evaluation and report were so thorough. I didn’t have to fight with the school for accommodations. They took his 10 page report and that was that, no questions asked. It was such a relief!”

Therapy:

  • “Dr. Hinnebusch is amazing and has changed our family's lives! My daughter truly enjoys working with him in therapy. We are blessed to have him in our lives!”

  • “Dr. Hinnebusch was fantastic the whole time. He explains things very well. He listened to us, and took into consideration what we had to say. We made a game plan that he worked with us and our child to come up with. He didn't make any decisions without talking to us about it first, which we definitely, definitely appreciated.”
