How do I get started?
The first step towards private therapy often depends on where you are in the journey already.
If you are at the very beginning stages, the first real step is a phone call or email. (For contact info, click here). I'll chat with you a little to learn more about your child and if we agree, set up a time to meet for an initial consultation. At that meeting, I'll collect more information from you, observe and interact with your child, and administer an informal screening to help get an idea of what needs your child may have. After our inital meeting, I may simply leave you with suggestions of ways to work with your child, or, if need exists, we would set up a time for a compelte assessment and evaluation.
Many families come to me having been referred from the county's infants and toddlers program or from the school system. If your child already has an IEP or IFSP in place, I am often able to review the county's assessment information and goals and (after meeting with your child) am able to use that information to put our own treatment plan together.
If you are coming from another therapist, I am happy to look over their assessments and goals and use them as a stepping stone to our own treatment plan.The first step towards private therapy often depends on where you are in the journey already.
