+What Payment Options are Available?

The fee for evaluations is due before the beginning of the first day of testing. Payments can be made online or by check, either in full or in installments. Please contact our business office at businessoffice@maycenter.org to make payment arrangements.

+What to Expect on Evaluation Day

If testing will take place at the May Center for Learning, our campus is located at 1200 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe inside of St. John’s Methodist Church. Please come to the double doors located on the south side of the building which face Cordova Road and knock (you will see a white and green “May Center for Learning” sign directly over the double doors). Our diagnostician will then bring you into the building. If no one is there to greet you at your appointment time, please call the May Center at 505.780.5439 and someone will let you in.

All forms must be submitted and payment must be made at least 24 hours prior to Evaluation Day. Clients may bring a water bottle and a healthy snack, as well as a comfort item, if desired (for instance, some students like to bring a stuffed animal or something they have made).

Initial evaluations consist of one day of testing with the following tentative schedule:

• 9:00 am -12:00 pm Testing
• 12:00-1:00 pm Lunch Break (parent typically takes student off campus for lunch)
• 1:00-3:00 pm Testing

Re-evaluations consist of one day of testing, which follows the same schedule.

Parents are welcome to wait on site during testing, but they are not required to do so. Due to limited space, the wait may be in the hallway.

+What to Expect on Conference Day & Consultation?

A conference to review results usually occurs within two to three weeks of the testing and lasts one to two hours. Parents will be contacted to schedule the date and time, and they may invite teachers or other people of their choice to attend. At the conference, parents will receive the written report, which will include the reason for referral, relevant history and observations, test results, interpretations, diagnosis, and recommendations for student, home, and school.

Additional services, including additional conferences and consultation, are available upon request at a fee of $100 per hour.
