Evaluations
Our neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations are tailored to each child's individual needs. We provide comprehensive evaluation services to ensure you have the best understanding of your child's strengths, areas of needed support, and ways to support your child at home, in school, and in other settings or situations.
1. Intake
Each evaluation begins with an intake interview, during which parents and caregivers share information about their child's strengths, concerns, and goals for the evaluation. The interview will focus on developmental history and current presenting concerns.
This session is typically just for parents to attend. However, if an adolescent or young adult is undergoing the evaluation, it is best for them to attend as well.
Following this session, parents and other key adults in the child's life (e.g., teachers) will be sent questionnaires to complete as a part of the evaluation.
2. Assessment
The assessment session is scheduled for about 3 hours. This session will include a series of activities based on the referral concerns and evaluation goals.
These sessions typically involve the child and the provider only, but parents may be involved, depending on the assessment tools utilized and the referral concerns.
3. Feedback
The feedback session is dedicated to reviewing the results of the evaluation with the family. The provider shares the evaluation results, discusses diagnostic decisions, and offers recommendations to the family. There is time for discussion and questions from the family.
Depending on the child's age, this session often involves the clinician and parents. Additional sessions can be set up to review the feedback with the child directly.
