No intake coordinator and no interpreter in the middle. The evaluation is conducted directly by the evaluator, in Spanish or English.
Difficult parts can wait for another session. Nothing has to be told before you are ready to tell it.
The report goes to your attorney, who decides what is filed. You are told what it says.
This shapes how the interview is paced, how questions are asked, and how the findings are read.
Measures are chosen for the referral question and incorporated when clinically appropriate. Each is listed with what it measures.
Evaluations may include objective measures of symptoms and response validity when clinically appropriate.
Other measures may be added depending on the question, such as attention, organization, independence and emotional functioning.
Free initial consultation for clients and referring attorneys. If an evaluation is not the right step, you will hear that first.
