Generally speaking, initial evaluations can be completed in 2-3 hours (on separate days)

More complex cases may require additional visits. This will be discussed through the course of evaluation.

During your first visit, we will go over your intake packet and clarify any information in it, as well as collect additional history about your child’s development and current behavior

All new patient visits are 60-minutes long

Continuing assessments for longer than one hour is generally avoided to make sure your child is not too tired and giving their best effort during each test.

A superbill will be available on your patient portal after each visit. You may submit this to your insurance for reimbursement

Established patient - 30 minutes: 99214

Developmental assessment - 60 minutes: 96112

Developmental assessment - additional 30 minutes: 96113

Brief Behavioral assessment: 96127

The specific assessment tools will depend on your child’s age and needs.

Prior to your intake visit you will receive a general developmental questionnaire to gather information about your child’s current functioning. If your child attends school or daycare, you will also receive a questionnaire for the teacher to help with insights about functioning and behavior in different settings.

Some of the assessments require observation of the child, while others require direct interaction.

After completing the evaluation we will schedule a 30-minute wrap-up session to discuss the results and go over next steps and specific recommendations.

Follow up times depend on the diagnosis.

• If you child is taking medication, follow up every 3-4 months is required, with at least one in-person visit every year

• If your child is not taking medication, follow up can range from every 6 months to every year or on an as-needed basis

Patients as young as 6 months and up to 18 years of age

Yes, medication may be recommended and prescribed as needed.

This will always be done in a collaborative way taking into consideration the parent’s and patient’s personal preference.

Medication choice can be complex and require several things to be considered.

Things like diagnosis and behaviors to target, your child’s age, ability to swallow pills, sensory difficulties, and their academic load and desired duration of effect will be taken into account.
