What to expect

Navigating the unknown can be overwhelming. We're here to help.

  1. Diagnostic Evaluation
    If your child needs a formal diagnosis, we can help you avoid the months-long waitlists found elsewhere. Our streamlined process starts with a virtual intake to learn your child's history, followed by an in-person, play-based testing session at one of our centers, and wraps up with a dedicated results call to walk you through our findings.

  2. Therapy Intake Call
    If you already have a diagnosis, we'll jump right in with a dedicated intake phone call. This is your opportunity to connect 1:1 with a care coordinator to get answers to all your questions about our therapy approach, logistics, and scheduling.

  3. Tour Your Local Center
    We want you to feel entirely comfortable with where your child will be learning.

  4. Full-Team Assessment
    Before therapy begins, your child will complete a comprehensive assessment with our full team of specialties present.

  5. Continuous Care & Open Doors
    Once therapy starts, you are part of the team.
