What to Expect

  1. Intake & history – Within 1 week of our consultation, we’ll meet to review your concerns and complete the intake process: interview, review of previous documents, and setting goals for the evaluation.

  2. Testing sessions – Your child, teen, or young adult completes a series of standardized tasks, questionnaires, and activities in a calm, supportive environment. Sessions can be completed across multiple days (typically 1-2) or in 1 session lasting approximately 4 hours.

  3. Feedback meeting – Typically scheduled 4-6 weeks after testing has been completed; we’ll meet to discuss the results of the evaluation and connect the findings to real-life challenges at school, home, work an how they may show up in relationships.

  4. Follow up advocacy support – If you have follow up questions about how to use the report to see accommodations or feel that there is a need for further advocacy, please reach out. We’ll go over the recommendations provided in report and coach you on how to effectively communicate and advocate for support.
