Frequently Asked Questions

We know navigating assessments can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to questions families often ask.

Assessments are tailored to the child and their needs. Because of this, assessment timelines vary. Most evaluations require around six hours of direct testing, which may be split across multiple sessions depending on the child's age and needs. A feedback session is then scheduled to review the results and recommendations with the family.
We provide assessments for children and young adults from ages 3 through 22. Our approach is tailored to be developmentally appropriate at every stage, from early childhood through the transition to adulthood.
Following the evaluation, you will receive a comprehensive written report including a full summary of findings and specific recommendations. We also provide a feedback session to walk you through the results and help you understand next steps for your child.
