Before starting the therapy process, I conduct a very thorough initial evaluation. This essential data-collection process gathers: medical history, developmental milestones, family history, and family medical & psychiatric history. This way, I gain a clearer picture of the problem(s), create a set of tailored therapy goals, and begin to implement strategies for long-term solutions for you now.
