Assessments
Depending upon the nature of the concern, as well as the child’s abilities, assessments may include a combination of standardized testing and skilled observations, along with parent interview. When appropriate, reviews of other evaluation reports and interviews with teachers and other professionals can help provide a more thorough assessment. Once completed, a report is generated which includes a description of the child’s skills and areas of need, as well as recommended goals, a treatment plan, and referrals if needed.

Treatment
A child’s treatment plan typically includes 1-3 sessions per week of direct one-on-one treatment. Services may also include consultations with teachers and other professionals, as well as periodic co-treatment sessions with other therapists. Parent education is an integral part of the process and may be done through direct involvement during therapy sessions, observation, conversations following sessions, and/or written notes. Progress reports are provided periodically to monitor and record the child’s progress.
