Why we chose a private-pay model.
Hensley Playbook™ does not participate with insurance networks. That decision lets us deliver the kind of evaluation, communication, and follow-through that families actually need, without third-party restrictions getting in the way.
We do offer payment via CareCredit, as well as FSA and HFA.
Longer, focused appointments
Without insurance billing constraints, we can spend the time your child actually needs for a thorough evaluation.
Comprehensive, not piecemeal
One coordinated evaluation instead of a fragmented series of appointments split across providers and months.
Personalized clinical guidance
Recommendations are built around your child and your family, not constrained by what insurance will reimburse.
Faster access to answers
No prior authorizations or referral delays. Most evaluations are completed within 72 hours so you can move forward sooner.
Choose the level of support that fits your family.
Families can begin wherever they are. The Hensley Playbook™ First Steps Call is available to families in Florida and Virginia, and the Hensley Playbook™ Membership is coming soon. In Florida and Virginia, the Starting Lineup Evaluation provides diagnostic clarity, as a full comprehensive evaluation or a focused second opinion, and Game Plan Coaching adds 90 days of guided support to put your plan into action. We care for children at every level of autism, Levels 1, 2, and 3, and we develop a treatment plan for 100% of the children we evaluate.

Meet your Hensley Playbook™ Navigator.
Membership includes a monthly Group Navigator session and bounded, non-urgent Navigator messaging between visits, so you can ask questions and get help building your child’s local support team and working through complex early childhood systems. Led by Simone Olson, your Navigator offers educational coaching, peer support, and a steady hand as you move from questions to a clear plan. The Membership is coming soon.
Navigators are not licensed medical providers and do not give medical advice, diagnoses, or therapy. This is non-clinical, educational support, and it does not create a clinician-client relationship. Clinical decisions stay with Dr. Hensley and your own licensed professionals.
Monthly Group Navigator session
A non-medical group session of 30 to 45 minutes for 5 to 10 families, with teaching and live Q&A on topics like early intervention, therapy types, and what to do after a diagnosis.
Support between visits
Non-urgent messaging with your Navigator for clarification of recommendations, school and therapy navigation, and resource guidance, answered within 2 to 3 business days.
Navigate the systems
Step-by-step guidance through Early Intervention (Part C) and school district IEP and IFSP timelines, so the logistics feel manageable.
Build your child's team
Map out the professionals your child may need, such as speech, OT, and ABA, and learn how to interview providers and manage waitlists.

Which Starting Lineup Evaluation is right for my child?
The Comprehensive Evaluation at $2,750 is a full, multidomain diagnostic assessment for children who need a formal evaluation, including standardized questionnaires, caregiver interview, direct observation, and co-occurring condition screening. The Diagnostic Clarification option at $1,875 is a focused second opinion for children who already have a prior evaluation, when results are conflicting or unclear. It interprets existing records and testing rather than repeating them, and delivers a diagnostic clarification report with updated recommendations.
What is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation?
How do the calls, evaluations, and coaching compare?
The First Steps Call, available in Florida and Virginia, is a parent-only call for families who are unsure where to begin. The Starting Lineup Evaluation, available in Florida and Virginia, provides diagnostic clarity through a full Comprehensive Evaluation or a focused Diagnostic Clarification. Game Plan Coaching begins with the full evaluation and adds 90 days of guided implementation. Next Steps Strategy Sessions are short, focused visits for previously diagnosed children. The membership is separate and is not bundled into any evaluation.
