- Complete Evaluations consist of an intake, assessment, and feedback session. Once completed, these evaluations can be shared with schools and outside providers to address student needs across settings.
Intake (Virtual or In-person @ Ely):
To begin the evaluation process, caregivers meet with Cate for a 60-minute interview to understand your child’s background and the current evaluation questions. This interview is designed to gather information about your family and your child’s developmental history to further understand their current profile from an academic, cognitive, medical, and if applicable, social-emotional standpoint. In addition, questionnaires are sent to caregivers and your child’s school for completion.
Assessment (In Person @ Ely):
Evaluation blocks are reserved for Saturday mornings @ Ely. The evaluation is broken up into multiple assessment appointments ranging from 90 minutes to 3 hours at a time (depending on client needs and stamina). Based on various factors, families can expect to dedicate 4-8 hours to an in-person evaluation. During these appointments, your child will participate in multiple assessment measures. Assessments include Intelligence Quotient (IQ), attention/ working memory, executive functioning, verbal reasoning, visual-spatial/motor, language, and social/emotional/behavioral functioning. Academic components can also be included if relevant. Once the evaluation questions have been developed, the assessment measures are identified to gather targeted information about each child.
Feedback 60-minute session (In-person @ Ely or Virtual):
Cate will interpret the results and provide families with a comprehensive written report once the evaluation is completed. Before the feedback session, families will be sent an electronic copy of the evaluation results. After families have had a chance to review the report, Cate will meet with caregivers to explain the findings. Her evaluations identify diagnoses and areas of strength and make specific recommendations for supporting your child best. Cate can also meet with children separately to explain their learning profile at a developmentally appropriate level.
