Any previous medical or diagnostic reports, and any previous educational or rehabilitation plans — and if you have none of these, come anyway; our assessment clarifies the picture.
It varies by program and branch — contact us for the nearest available appointment, and we will suggest the branch with the fastest availability for your case.
It depends on the program and the child’s age — we involve the family in the plan and in regular guidance sessions, because follow-through at home multiplies the effect of the sessions.
