Evaluations include a parent and clinician feedback session to review your child’s test findings. We identify your child’s strengths and make recommendations to ensure that he or she receives appropriate support, accommodations and treatment.
Test results and our recommendations are captured in a formal report designed to be used by physicians and academic professionals. This report is typically sent to you 4 – 6 weeks after the evaluation and is sent to others at your request.
