Beverly Hills assessments that hold up everywhere.
When something feels off with your child, you want two things: a clear answer, and a plan you can act on. Dr. Anna Levi gives Beverly Hills families both. More than twenty years and over 8,750 evaluations stand behind a single assessment that insurance, schools, Social Security, and the Regional Center all accept, so your child gets what they qualify for: classroom support through an IEP or 504 plan, therapy, one-on-one help like ABA. Started early, that support is often what separates a child who keeps struggling from one who's doing better, at school and at home.
One evaluation, four systems behind it.
What makes an evaluation worth doing is what it lets you do next. Dr. Levi writes hers to the standard each of California's four major support systems accepts on its own, so a single assessment carries weight everywhere and you are never starting the eligibility process over.
Regional Centers
For a Beverly Hills child whose results show a qualifying developmental disability like autism or an intellectual disability, Westside Regional Center funds hundreds of covered hours of ABA, speech, and occupational therapy, without the long assessment waitlist.
Health Insurance
The documentation insurers require before they authorize covered therapies and follow-up care.
School Districts
The basis for an IEP or 504 plan in Beverly Hills Unified, so the classroom works with your child, not against them.
Social Security
The proof Social Security needs to approve disability benefits for a child who qualifies.
A report is only as good as what it unlocks. Most private testing isn't accepted by these systems directly, so families pay to test all over again. Dr. Levi's is accepted by all four.

Why every system says yes.
Whether a system accepts an evaluation comes down to whether the reader trusts it. Dr. Levi has spent more than twenty years on the other side of that desk, contracted by Regional Centers, insurers, and districts across the region. She knows what each one looks for, uses the gold-standard measures they expect, and writes to that standard the first time.
That matters most when your child qualifies for real support. You don't want to lose months bouncing between agencies during the years that help your child the most. One evaluation, accepted everywhere, gets them what they're entitled to far sooner.
Our fee is for the evaluation itself and is never tied to a particular finding. The diagnosis is whatever the data supports, weighed against every result and observation, so the picture stays as objective and thorough as we can make it.
A real answer you can act on.
Most families who call aren't looking for a label. They want to understand what's actually happening with their child and what to do next. That's what the evaluation gives you: a clear picture, and a plan you can use.
Sometimes that means a diagnosis and a roadmap for support. Sometimes it means hearing that your child is bright, with real strengths, and needs help in only a couple of areas. Either way, you stop guessing.
Each one comes with a plan you can act on and a clear read on what your child qualifies for.

Tell Dr. Levi what's going on. She'll give you an honest read on whether testing makes sense and what it involves. Nothing to commit to.
The testing session
To your child it feels like games and puzzles, but those are the same gold-standard, research-backed measures used in the most rigorous evaluations, given in a way that keeps them relaxed so the results are accurate. It's in person, usually one visit, minutes away at our Pico-Robertson office, and most families are seen within five business days.
Your answers, and a plan
Dr. Levi spends about a week and a half on the analysis, the careful part that makes the findings hold up everywhere. Around ten days after testing you sit down together, go through it in plain language, and leave knowing exactly what to do next and where your child qualifies for support.
It's your child. Experience is the whole point.

What does an evaluation cost?
It depends on your child, because the right evaluation isn't one-size-fits-all. The honest number comes on the free 10-minute call, where we walk you through what your child's assessment would involve and what it runs. The fee is for the evaluation itself, never tied to a particular finding.
How quickly will we have answers?
Quickly. Most Beverly Hills families are seen within about five business days of the first call, usually in one visit at our nearby Pico-Robertson office. Dr. Levi then spends about a week and a half on the analysis, the part that makes the report hold up with insurance, schools, Social Security, and the Regional Center. About ten days after testing you sit down together and leave with a plan.
Do you take insurance?
We don't bill insurance for the assessment itself; it's private, with a detailed superbill you can submit, and PPO plans often reimburse part. The value is in what the report unlocks: if services are needed, it's accepted by insurance, schools, Social Security, and the Regional Center, which is what opens covered support.
Which Regional Center covers Beverly Hills?
Beverly Hills and the wider Westside are served by Westside Regional Center. Under California's Lanterman Act, a child with a qualifying developmental disability has a lifelong right to free services there, including therapy, in-home support, and day programs.
The catch is the wait, often six to ten months just to be tested through the state, which only screens for developmental disabilities. A private evaluation skips the line, and Dr. Levi’s report is written to be accepted when you bring it in. Our guide to Regional Center funding explains the funding side.
Will Beverly Hills Unified accept the report for an IEP or 504?
Yes. Dr. Levi's evaluation is written to the standard districts rely on, so it serves as the basis for an IEP or 504 plan in Beverly Hills Unified and neighboring districts. That's where classroom accommodations come from, and the sooner the plan is in place, the more your child gets out of the school year.
What if we don't agree with the diagnosis?
It's one of the most common worries. A diagnosis sits on a spectrum, not a clean yes or no, and after more than twenty years and thousands of families, no honest psychologist promises a process without mistakes. What I can tell you is that careful reasoning and thorough observation sit behind every conclusion. And even when the answer is hard, the child still gets real help in the years that count, builds skills, and often catches up. Waiting is the thing that sets a child back.
Is the testing stressful for kids?
No. We build the sessions to feel easy, even fun. Most tasks look like games and puzzles, though they're the same proven tools used in the most rigorous evaluations. We've worked with thousands of children of every temperament, and we take breaks whenever a child needs one.
