"He'll catch up" is sometimes true — and sometimes the sentence that costs a year. For babies and children behind on motor milestones, MindForge provides instrumented motor evaluation and goal-directed therapy blocks in Dallas — coordinated with your pediatrician and any Early Childhood Intervention services — and we say so when watchful waiting really is the right call. The lane: milestone-informed motor assessment (proxy intake; parent goals) → where indicated, concentrated goal-directed blocks (the same intensity evidence base as our CP program [1]) → re-measurement parents can see. Where findings suggest an underlying condition needing diagnosis, the route is your pediatrician/specialist first — with our findings letter in hand. Discovery Day — one fixed fee, shared on your first call · program pricing on the same call + GFE · ways to pay.
Program weeks, day by day: what to expect.
MindForge doesn't bill insurance — by design. Direct-pay is what makes an individualized, intensive program possible rather than care shaped by billing codes. HSA/FSA and financing options exist, and a written Good Faith Estimate precedes any commitment.
Frequently asked questions
When is a delay worth evaluating?
When your gut says so — evaluation costs a day and answers the year-long question; "wait and see" should be chosen, not defaulted.
Does this replace ECI?
No — it's supplemental to public early-intervention services, coordinated.
What if it's something bigger?
Then you'll know early, with data, and the right specialists get a running start.
