Things to do before your appointment
- Gather your child’s testing records, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans and report cards from your child’s school.
- Before your child’s appointment, we will set up a discussion to learn more about your child and your goals for the evaluation. This takes about an hour. We often use phone or video visits (telehealth).
- Learn more about what to do before your appointment.
What happens after the appointment?
- We review the results and may gather more information from your child’s provider or school.
- We will schedule a follow-up visit by phone or video (telehealth) to talk about results and recommendations. During your first visit, we will decide if your child should attend the follow-up visit.
- After we talk about the results, we will add the report to your child’s medical record. You can view it online by logging in to your MyChart account.
- Based on your child’s needs, we may work with their healthcare team or their school team to help your child qualify for an IEP or 504 plan. Schools use these plans to guide services they can provide to your child.
- Follow-up visits are determined by your child’s needs and may include consultation or repeat testing.
