About

Dr. Castro received his doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Florida State University. He had a staff appointment at Children’s Hospital, Boston as a supervising psychologist for a number of developmental clinics including the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) and the Preschool Clinic. Highly experienced in the evaluation of a wide range of children, Dr. Castro specializes in the assessment of preschoolers, children with developmental disabilities and Spanish-speaking children. 

Because we are an integrated center comprised of different departments and services, the insurance coverage varies in each department.

Our neuropsychologists and therapists accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and Optum/United Behavioral Health (UBH). UBH is the mental health coverage with most Harvard Pilgrim and United Healthcare plans.

The physicians in our Medical Department are all in-network with BCBS, Harvard Pilgrim, and Tufts Health Plan (commercial plans only). Additionally, some physicians are also in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare.

The OT & Speech departments accept BCBS, Harvard Pilgrim, and Allways Health

There are some services at ICCD that insurance companies do not cover such as the educational/academic assessment completed in a Neuropsychological Evaluation, tutoring services, classroom observations, clinician participation in school meetings, assistive technology evaluations, and sports psychology sessions.
