Evaluations

Teens will participate in a holistic and comprehensive evaluation to identify strengths and areas for growth. At the end of the evaluation, each client will have a personalized therapeutic plan that is functional and realistic for the client's unique needs.

The evaluation includes:

  • Interview with the teen

  • Interviews with caregivers

  • Formal tests (i.e., receive a score)

  • Informal tests (i.e., tests that gather information without a score)

  • Collaborative goal-setting with clients and caregivers
