What Happens During the Evaluation

What to Expect During Your First Visit

We take our time. We listen. And we involve you every step of the way.

Here’s what’s typically included:

A full review of your child’s medical history and development

Observation of movement, posture, and coordination

Gentle hands-on assessments of muscle tone, reflexes, and mobility

Play-based engagement to understand sensory needs and strengths

Discussion of family goals, priorities, and home routines

The evaluation is designed to be welcoming, not intimidating. Your child is never rushed. You’ll have time to ask questions, share concerns, and feel heard.

After the Evaluation

Next Steps After the Assessment

We create a plan together and guide you through what comes next.

Following the evaluation, we’ll:

Share a summary of findings with clear language

Recommend a therapy frequency and approach

Walk you through any specialty tools or interventions we suggest

Answer questions about scheduling, insurance, and home support

Begin the process of onboarding you into our ongoing care system

You’ll never leave wondering “what now?” We explain every step.
