Do assessments include observations outside the office?

Depending on your goals and the assessment plan, we may consider home, school, work, or community context. We will discuss the most useful information sources with you before moving forward.

Will we receive a written report?

Assessment services typically include clear documentation of observations, patterns, strengths, and recommendations. We will explain what is included in your specific plan before services begin.

Can caregivers and teachers be involved?
