What to Expect

The most important thing to us is our relationship with you and your child. That relationship is the foundation that allows us to find the best path to reach your child’s goals. Below is a summary of our starting point together. Please contact us today, so we can meet your child and begin a new, exciting journey together!

 

Step 1: Contact Us to Schedule an Evaluation

We want to hear your story. The more we know about your family, and specifically your child, the more helpful we can be. In this first conversation, we’ll ask some basic questions, and then schedule a time to meet your child and assess their needs.


Step 2: Prep for an In-Home Meeting

One of our licensed psychologists will visit your home to meet your child and you. We will spend time playing with your child to observe their patterns of learning and relating. We will also ask you some questions.

We are not there to judge you or how you parent. Our goal is to gain insight into how we can best support your child and you. We are advocates for the wellbeing of your whole family. To prepare for this evaluation, you can think about any questions or observations you’d like to share with us.

Step 3: We Get Back to You With Your Results and Next Steps

Once the evaluation is complete, we will write and share a summary of our observations. At this point, we will be able to communicate a plan for how we can move forward together.

Getting to know your child and you truly is an honor for us. We can’t wait to see the awesome potential that is in your child’s personality and abilities. Please contact us today, and we’ll look forward to meeting you.
