When Is the Clinic Held, and What Happens on Clinic Day?

The Clinic is held on Tuesday or Thursday mornings from 8:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
Please check in 15-20 minutes prior to your appointment time in Room 1008. Be sure to bring the child’s insurance or medical card and any other requested information.
Participation in the evaluation process by parents or someone who is very familiar with the child is very important and will assist in final assessment and recommendations.
Some team members will see the child at the same time. Other team members will interview the parents or primary care providers.
A handwritten summary of test results and recommendations will be given during a discussion following the evaluation.
A follow up appointment will be discussed and can be scheduled before you leave.
Copies of the typed report will be sent to parents/guardians, the child’s primary care doctor and the referring physician or psychologist

To Prepare for Clinic Day:

Bring someone with you to care for your other children or just for support if you would like.
Invite the team that is involved with your child’s care or education to the evaluation.
You are encouraged to bring snacks and/or a favorite toy for your child.
Prepare your child in advance by indicating that she/he will come to play with a variety of toys at the

evaluation and will meet new people, but you will be there as well.
