What to expect
How do I get started?
Contact Sari by email or phone to ask questions or schedule a consultation. During the consultation, you will discuss the evaluation process, determine the areas of focus, and schedule in-person testing.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on factors such as insurance authorization, testing availability, and any rescheduling needs. Most assessments are completed within four to six weeks of the initial consultation.
What areas will the assessment cover?
Because many symptoms overlap or occur together, the evaluation considers all developmentally appropriate areas that may help explain the individual’s difficulties.
What happens after the evaluation?
You will receive a comprehensive written report with diagnostic findings and individualized recommendations. The report may be shared with physicians, psychiatrists, pediatricians, schools, colleges, employers, or other providers involved in care and support.
