Fee Schedule
Generally speaking, services are billed at a rate of $200/hour. If more than 30 minutes of travel is required (each way), a travel fee may be implemented. Depending on a variety of factors, virtual services may be billed at a lower rate.
Evaluations and trainings are billed at number of anticipated hours multiplied by the hourly rate.
For instance, a traditional AAC evaluation would be anticipated to take approximately 7 hours (review of records, observation, direct assessment, report writeup) with a total fee of $1400.
Workshop/PD costs are determined by the length of the workshop (e.g., 3 hours) multipled by the hourly rate + time to prepare the workshop. Workshops have a standard minimum of 1/2 hour for preparation - therefore, a 3-hour workshop would potentially cost $700. However, if the workshop is on a highly customized topic or one which I have not developed many materials for, the preparation time will be extended. All anticipated costs will be discussed prior to formally beginning services.
Following trainings/evaluations, I am typically available for ongoing consultation via remote services.
I do not actively participate with insurance companies so my services are best classified as "private pay." I can generally receive payment from school districts in situations where the school directly reaches out to me for services or a school pays for services on behalf of a family.
If you are interested in any of these services, please contact me at: joenovak83@gmail.com. My availability is limited but I try to accommodate requests whenever possible.
