On your first session, your therapist will give you a tour of our space. We encourage all parents to be present during evaluation sessions. Your evaluation is scheduled over two dates of service. Each evaluation session is 50 minutes in length. During the evaluation sessions, your therapist will observe, interact with and play with your child. Even though it might just look like playing, your therapist is collecting valuable data. You are welcome to ask questions throughout the evaluation session or share your concerns.
During either of the evaluative sessions, your therapist might perform assessment measures which require your child to follow directions if they are able to. We will make sure the evaluation is a positive experience for your child and they enjoy themselves. At the end of the second evaluation session, your therapists will briefly discuss the results of the evaluation and let you know if services are recommended. Next, your therapist will write up a comprehensive report within two weeks of the date of your first appointment and directly reach out to you via email to schedule a time to go over the report with you on Zoom or in person, depending on your preference. If therapy is recommended and you choose to receive services at Express Yourself Pediatric Therapy, your child will have weekly therapy sessions where parent participation is always encouraged! All our sessions are 50-minutes in length and the last few minutes are left to discuss the treatment session with parents.
