What to Expect
Number of Appointments
We typically schedule between three and five appointments. The number of appointments depends on the reason you are seeking assessment. We aim to complete the entire process, from first to last appointment, within six weeks. This is not a guarantee but a goal.
First Appointment
During your first appointment we will collect background information and history, as well as clarify your symptoms. This will help us to identify the number of appointments necessary to complete your assessment.
Testing Appointments
During testing appointments, neuropsychological tests are administered in our office or online. These tests analyze problem-solving abilities and identify strengths and weaknesses. Your data is statistically analyzed and a diagnosis can be determined from your outcomes.
Final Review + Personalized Recommendations
During your final appointment, we will review the results of your assessment and provide personalized recommendations.
Assessments for Children and Adults
1
Child Evaluations
( Under18 years of age)
When evaluating children, we first meet with you and your child to collect information about your child's developmental history.
During the assessment process your child will complete a series of cognitive and neuropsychological tests in order to clarify the root of their distress. Our process is streamlined and some portions of the assessment are completed online. However, most of the time, children must complete testing in-person at our Lombard office location.
​
Typically, the administration of tests can take between one and three appointments to complete. Each appointment is between two to three hours in duration.
Finally, we meet with you and your child to provide your evaluation results. We provide a formal explanation of your child's diagnosis and a list of personalized recommendations.
