  • Step Three

    The initial appointment will begin with a brief consultation with the treating therapist, which provides you an opportunity to express concerns and ask questions. Following this meeting, the therapist will begin the evaluation process, which includes standardized assessments and clinical observations of your child.  While it typically takes up to 2 sessions for the therapist to collect all of the information needed to develop a treatment plan for your child, your child’s therapist will make recommendations and begin treatment right away.  Upon completion of the evaluation, an appointment will be made to discuss the results and establish goals. The Family Child Advocate will set up ongoing appointments, as is recommended by your therapist.  Regular attendance and communication with parents and school will produce the best results!
